A modified version of the Boyd MOLBD3 force-field method has been employed to compute the structure, standard enthalpy of formation, and standard absolute entropy for a variety of dienes and unsaturated ring and methylene-bridged compounds. The modifications to MOLBD3 included incorporation of -ene and -diene parameters suggested by Anet and Yavari, as well as our adjustment of C(sp{sup 2})-C(sp{sup 2})-C(sp{sup 2}) and C(sp{sup 2})-C(sp{sup 2})-C(sp{sup 3}) bond angle parameters for unsaturated five-member rings and methylene-bridged compounds. Our MOLBD3 results for 1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,3-cycloheptadiene, cyclopentene, norbornane, norbornene, norbornadiene, bicyclo(3.2.1)octane, bicyclo(3.3.1)nonane, and 1,3-cyclopentadiene are generally in excellent agreement (typically {plus minus} 1 kcal/mol for {Delta}H{sub f}{degree}, and {plus minus} 1 cal/(mol{center dot}K) for S{degree}) with observed values and with calculations we and others have made with the Allinger MMP2 and Ermer-Lifson CFF-3 programs. These molecular mechanics methods are thus capable of predicting thermochemical properties with sufficient accuracy for useful thermodynamic calculations.
