Bond Dissociation Energies of Phenolic and Amine Antioxidants

  • Chapter
Free Radicals in Biology and Environment

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 27))

Abstract

The bond dissociation energy value (BDE) is one of the most important physical parameters between those employed to define the properties of the chemical compounds used as inhibitors of free radical reactions and, in particular, of antioxidants [1]. The latter ones represent a wide class of additives for food, lubricants, polymers, paints, etc. used to contrast the autoxidation reaction of hydrocarbons, unsaturated fatty acids or esters, the majority of organometallic derivatives and other substances.
