Abstract
 
This paper presents a brief overview of our research focused on the thermodynamics of primary antioxidant action related mainly to (poly)phenolic compounds. Reaction enthalpies for three mechanisms of radical scavenging by primary (chain-breaking) antioxidants or model compounds have been investigated using quantum chemical calculations.
