The standard enthalpies of combustion of diphenyl oxalate and benzoic anhydride have been measured by static combustion calorimetry. The results have been used to derive the standard enthalpies of formation: ΔHf°(diphenyl oxlate, c)=–129·0 ± 0·8 and ΔHf°(benzoic anhydride, c)=–99·3 ± 0·4 kcal mol–1. The thermochemistry of these and related oxygenated compounds is discussed. Values for bond dissociation energies have been derived and are discussed in the context of possible decomposition pathways.
