Three accepted antioxidant mechanisms, including hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single-electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT) and sequential proton loss electron transfer (SPLET), were considered to explore which mechanism p-cresol and its derivatives preferred to in different environments. The bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE), ionization potential (IP), proton dissociation enthalpy (PDE), proton affinity (PA) and electron transfer enthalpy (ETE), closely related to the above three antioxidant mechanisms, were calculated systematically. The obtained results indicate that the antioxidant process of studied compounds prefers to the SET-PT and SPLET mechanism in gas phase and polar solvents, respectively.

The hydrogen bond effects in PRODAN derivatives on excited state in methanol solvent have some significance to explain their dynamic experiments. In this paper, we have presented a theoretical investigation into the influence of hydrogen bonding on the structural and spectral properties of PRODAN derivative (1a) and methanol complexes using time dependent density functional theory. The focused work is the structures and vibrational spectra of PRODAN derivative (1a) hydrogen bonding compounds in methanol solvent. It was observed that the distances of hydrogen bonding between derivative and methanol molecule in complexes shortened in the S1 state. The results suggested that the behavior and effect of hydrogen bonds increased in the excited proceed. In addition, the IR vibrational spectra of PRODAN-1a-MeOH complex occurred shift in the S1 state. As a consequence, the hydrogen bonding of PRODAN derivative (1a) could play a role in the geometries and electronic spectra in excited state.","PeriodicalId":15131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Atomic and Molecular Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87924173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
