A complete and consistent set of 60 Benson group additive values (GAVs) for oxygenate molecules and 97 GAVs for oxygenate radicals is provided, which allow to describe their standard enthalpies of formation, entropies and heat capacities. Approximately half of the GAVs for oxygenate molecules and the majority of the GAVs for oxygenate radicals have not been reported before. The values are derived from an extensive and accurate database of thermochemical data obtained by ab initio calculations at the CBS‐QB3 level of theory for 202 molecules and 248 radicals. These compounds include saturated and unsaturated, α‐ and β‐branched, mono‐ and bifunctional oxygenates. Internal rotations were accounted for by using one‐dimensional hindered rotor corrections. The accuracy of the database was further improved by adding bond additive corrections to the CBS‐QB3 standard enthalpies of formation. Furthermore, 14 corrections for non‐nearest‐neighbor interactions (NNI) were introduced for molecules and 12 for radicals. The validity of the constructed group additive model was established by comparing the predicted values with both ab initio calculated values and experimental data for oxygenates and oxygenate radicals. The group additive method predicts standard enthalpies of formation, entropies, and heat capacities with chemical accuracy, respectively, within 4 kJ mol−1 and 4 J mol−1 K−1 for both ab initio calculated and experimental values. As an alternative, the hydrogen bond increment (HBI) method developed by Lay et al. (T. H. Lay, J. W. Bozzelli, A. M. Dean, E. R. Ritter, J. Phys. Chem.­ 1995, 99, 14514) was used to introduce 77 new HBI structures and to calculate their thermodynamic parameters (ΔfH°, S°, Cp°). The GAVs reported in this work can be reliably used for the prediction of thermochemical data for large oxygenate compounds, combining rapid prediction with wide‐ranging application.
