Heats of heterolysis have been measured for eight C-C and C-O bonds from the reaction of resonance-stabilized ions in 95% Sulfolane/5% 3-methylsulfolane solution at 25/sup 0/C. The results followed a simple master equation delta H(sub het) = 11.98-1.178 p(K sub R+) + 1.156 pKa) derived from readily accessible stability constants for the carbocations, carbanions, and phenoxide ions used to form the bond.
