We report the results obtained for the experimental determination and the theoretical calculation of the enthalpy of formation of 3,6-diphenyl-1,2,4,5-tetroxane molecule. The experimental work was performed using a macrocalorimeter to measure the combustion heat, and the sublimation enthalpy was determined via the measurement of the vapor pressure at equilibrium with the vapor phase at different temperatures resorting to the Clapeyron-Claussius equation. Theoretical calculations were performed using semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods as well as ab initio techniques at the 3-21, 6-31G(d,p), and 6-311G(d,p) basis set levels.
