Gibbs free energy (ΔG0, kJ mol−1) at 298.15 K for the reactions (R5) and (R6) between different radicals (R˙) and the potential antioxidants (Anti) in the gas phase, calculated at the M05-2X/6-311++g(2df,2p)//M05-2X/LanL2DZ level of theorya.

Free radical (R5): Anti + (R˙) → (Anti˙+) + (R) (R6): Anti + (R˙) → (Anti˙) + (R+)
