20. + values had a correlation of 0.96, 0.96, and 0.97, respectively, with an average deviation of 0.48±0.31, 1.06±0.49, and 0.59±0.32 kcal/mol, respectively. Although the AM1 BDEs at the UHF level are lower than the experimental or DFT values, the relative effect of the substituents is as good as either the experimental or DFT data.
