BDFE, E°, and pKa values for tBu•,tBuO•, and tBuOO•/– a

BDFE E°(Y•/-) E°(YH•+/0) pKa(YH) pKa(YH•+)
tBu• 90.9 −2.94 3.37 78 −29

For the sources of the BDFEs, E½s, and pKas, see Section 2 of the text and Section S3 of the SI. BDFEs are ± 2.0 kcal mol−1, potentials are ± 0.10 V vs Fc+/0, and pKas are ± 2 units.
