DFT Study on Antioxidant Action Mechanisms of Naphthoquinone-Urazole Hybrids
Abstract
The aim of this study is on the evaluation of
the antioxidant activities of the investigated naphthoquinone-urazole hybrids
by comparing our theoretical results with experimental results and on the
elucidation the antioxidant action mechanisms. For this purpose, quantum
chemical calculations were performed at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level for the
investigated naphthoquinone-urazole hybrids and their ionic forms in the gas
phase and in water. The solvation effect of water on the antioxidant
activity was examined using the conductor–like
polarizable continuum model (C-PCM) at the same level of
theory. The antioxidant action mechanisms for the
investigated naphthoquinone-urazole hybrids were assessed
thermodynamically by several physicochemical parameters.
