16. exp(298) are listed under the heading Bond Strengths in Polyatomic Molecules, although this quantity reflects both the strength of a bond and the stability of the radical(s) formed. To our opinion, it is not sufficient and still misleading if one distinguishes between an equilibrium bond strength reflected, e.g., by equilibrium bond length and equilibrium stretching force constant and a (non-equilibrium) bond strength reflected, e.g., by bond dissociation energies since the latter quantities cannot be trustful indicators of bond strength.
