Phenolic compounds represent an important category of antioxidants because they help inhibit the oxidation process of organic compounds, while also acting as antiradicals in many biological processes. In this work, we analyze the transfer mechanisms for a set of catechols and resorcinols of a single electron, proton and hydrogen, with the radical peroxyl (˙OOH) and with different electron withdrawing and donating groups as substituents. By using the M05-2X exchange correlation functional within the Density Functional Theory framework combined with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set, we were able to compute the Gibbs free energies for all mechanisms and compounds. According to the thermodynamic results, the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism was the most favorable. Therefore, this mechanism with substituents –CH3 and –COH in catechol and resorcinol was analyzed, using the reaction force and reaction electronic flux to characterize the structural and electronic changes that take place during the reaction. Our results show that electron donating groups favor electronic changes along the reaction path, increasing the spontaneity of the hydrogen atom transfer mechanism.

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.
