Abstract

The electronic structure, geometrical parameters, proton affinities, lone pair occupancies, and orbital interactions have been explored to understand the antioxidant behavior of ebselen at B3LYP/6-31+G∗ level. The role of substituents in the nucleophilicity of selenium in eight model molecules containing Sesingle bondN bond has been analyzed in terms of relative proton affinities. The free energy changes associated with probable catalytic reaction steps have also been evaluated.
