Radical cations of vitamin E
Literature Information
Radical cations of vitamin E compounds (α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocopherols and α-, β-, γ- and δ-tocotrienols) were for the first time successfully prepared in different solvents. Their unpaired electron distribution was solved by means of EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy and assignment of isotropic hyperfine couplings was performed. The isotropic hyperfine coupling constants calculated theoretically (UB3LYP) were comparable to those studied experimentally. Radical cations were observed to exist as an intermediate product in the formation of the neutral radical. Moreover, loosening the proton from the radical cation of α-tocopherol and from α-tocotrienol produced the neutral radical, which was detected in the ENDOR spectrum. The potency of the hydroxyl proton of the radical cation for further reactions as a measure of the biological activity of various tocopherol and tocotrienol compound is discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
