Enthalpies of formation for three- and eight- membered heterocyclic ethers (15
compounds) in gas state have been determined by different theoretical methods: levels of
theory B3LYP/6-31g(d), MP2/6-31g(d) and chemical composite methods (Gn and CBS)
via two approach’s: atomization energy (AE) and bond separations (BS). Median absolute
deviations (MAD) and standard deviations (SD) of calculated values from experimental
data have been determined for every using method’s. The bond separation method has the
smallest MAD at most of theoretical methods in comparison to the atomization energy
approach. The 6-31g(d,p) basis set doesn’t seen clear effect in the theoretical results.
