Abstract

The assessment of the C-N bond dissociation energies is performed by using the various density functionals at 6-31+g(d,p) level. CBS-QB3 method was used to provide the theoretical benchmark values. The present results show that the three hybrid meta GGA functionals, BB1K, MPWB1K and M06 reproduce the experimental values well. M06-2X could normally overestimate the homolytic C-N bond dissociation energies. For the hybrid functionals, B3P86 and PBE1PBE can also behave almost as well as the above meta GGA functionals. Thus, they should be recommended as the most reliable method to estimate the energetic C-N bond dissociation energies.
