Addition of carbon-centered radicals to aromatic antioxidants: mechanistic aspects
Literature Information
Janusz M. Gebicki
Several recent studies have shown that the rates of formation of adduct radicals between carbon-centred radicals and aromatic molecules are virtually diffusion-controlled and reversible. This contrasts with “radical addition”, the well-known multistep reaction in preparative organic chemistry where the rate-determining initial formation of radical adducts is perceived to be several orders of magnitude slower and virtually irreversible. Using pulse radiolysis and spectroscopic analysis, we have now re-examined parts of this complex mechanism. The results have significant implications for biological systems: electron-rich, aromatic structures may act like buffers for radicals, moderating their reactivity resulting in a much slower reaction determining the overall rate of oxidation. In vivo, an organism would gain time for an appropriate antioxidant reaction.

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.
