Keywords: oxygen-containing heterocyclic radicals, structure-property relationship, methods of calculation, cyclic stress energy, enthalpy of formation.Study of the conversions of oxygen-containing organic compounds of cyclic structure has great value for understanding aspects of ecology, chemical technology, and biochemistry. The important role of free radicals in this determines the extreme urgency of a detailed study of their structure and physicochemical properties. Among the latter, thermochemical characteristics are the most informative.Experimental investigations of the thermochemical properties of radicals are linked with serious difficulties of a methodological and technical nature arising from the high chemical reactivity of radicals. Information on the thermodynamic properties of oxygen-containing organic radicals of a cyclic nature are extremely sparse and are of a preliminary nature [1, 2]. Among them only seven oxygen-containing heterocyclic radicals have been characterized by values of the standard enthalpies of formation (Δ f H o ).Calculated assessments of Δ f H o for the indicated radicals using phenomenological methods are hindered by the ambiquity of the cyclic stress energies E c [1]. Quantum-chemical methods are extremely resourceful at present but are also efficient only for the simplest radicals with less than 5-7 atoms [3]. Consequently until now extending the number of oxygen-containing heterocyclic radicals characterized by their Δ f H o values has come from fixation of their E c values, and the corresponding quantitative structure-property correlations have been established on these data.An approach was proposed in [4-10] for the resolution of this problem and has been carried out in practice for a wide class of radicals, including cyclic radicals [6-10]. In the present work this approach to the determination of Δ f H o of radicals, based on known values of the bond dissociation energies (D) and on quantitative
