The Aqueous and Acetonitrile Bond Dissociation Free Energies of -Hydroxyphthalimide.

Widely cited values of 89 and 90.9 kcal/mol for the bond-dissociation free energy of -hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) in water and acetonitrile, respectively, are in error. The sources of the errors leading to these values have been explored and corrected.
