Theoretical studies on aniline, phenol, benzenethiol, benzeneselenol, and their corresponding adducts with hydroxyl radical in possible positions on a hydrocarbon ring are presented. Bond dissociation enthalpies, related to radical scavenging of primary antioxidants, were calculated using the M06–2X/6–311+G** method. Calculated data were compared with available experimental data. Preferable homolytic bond dissociation of the presented molecules with OH• through functional groups X—OH followed by the <italic>m</italic>–OH ones has been confirmed. The highest antioxidant activity among the investigated positions is predicted for benzeneselenol. Also, the formation of non-covalent van der Waals structures has been shown as important in radical scavenging.

Theoretical studies on aniline, phenol, benzenethiol, benzeneselenol, and their corresponding adducts with hydroxyl radical in possible positions on a hydrocarbon ring are presented. Bond dissociation enthalpies, related to radical scavenging of primary antioxidants, were calculated using the M06–2X/6–311+G** method. Calculated data were compared with available experimental data. Preferable homolytic bond dissociation of the presented molecules with OH• through functional groups X—OH followed by the m–OH ones has been confirmed. The highest antioxidant activity among the investigated positions is predicted for benzeneselenol. Also, the formation of non-covalent van der Waals structures has been shown as important in radical scavenging.
