Resumen:
Quantum chemical calculations are used to estimate the bond dissociation energies (BDEs) for 15 thiol compounds. These compounds are studied by employing the hybrid density functional theory (B3LYP, B3PW91, B3P86, PBE0) methods and the complete basis set (CBS-Q) method together with 6-311G** basis set. It is demonstrated that B3P86 and CBS-Q methods are accurate for computing the reliable BDEs for thiol compounds. In order to test whether the non-local BLYP method suggested by Fu et al.(19) is general for our study and whether B3P86 method has a low basis set sensitivity, the BDEs for seven thiol compounds are also calculated using BLYP/6-31+G* and B3P86 method with 6-31+G*, 6-31+G**, and 6-311+G** basis sets for comparison. The obtained results are compared with the available experimental results. It is noted that B3P86 method is not sensitive to the basis set. Considering the inevitable computational cost of CBS-Q method and the reliability of the B3P86 calculations, B3P86 method wit
