The objective of this work is to perform a theoretical analysis of the antioxidant properties of a series of 8-hydroxyquinolines (8-HQs) to rationalize the available experimental results and to design new potent 8-HQ derivatives. The study was carried out in gas phase and in methanol at the DFT/B3LYP/ 6-311++G(d,p) computational level. The formation of stable ArO• radicals is discussed on the basis of different mechanisms, namely, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT), single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT), and single proton loss electron transfer (SPLET). The obtained results show that the HAT mechanism is, thermodynamically, more favoured in gas phase, whereas the SPLET pathway is more favoured in polar solvents. The calculated thermochemical descriptors allow classification of the antioxidant power of the studied compounds.

The electron affinities of 14 substituted nitrobenzenes including nitrobiphenyls were determined by measurement of electron transfer equilibria [1] in the gas phase with a pulsed high pressure mass spectrometer: A− + B = A + B− [1]. These data, when combined with previous determinations from this laboratory, lead to electron affinities for 35 substituted nitrobenzenes and provide a comprehensive data set for the examination of substituent effects. The data are used to derive Taft gas-phase substituent parameters. A qualitative discussion based on frontier orbital molecular theory examines the substituent effect on the benzene and nitrobenzene LUMOs. The lifetimes for electron autodetachment from excited nitrobenzene negative ions, (A−)*, studied earlier by Christophorou, are examined in light of the present electron affinity data. Keywords: electron affinities, substituent effects, frontier orbital treatment, electron autodetachment from nitrobenzene radical anions.
