Antioxidants react with free radicals by different mechanisms—hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or single electron transfer mechanism (SET); or the combination of both HAT and SET mechanisms being primary examples. The HAT reaction is a concerted movement of a proton and an electron in a single kinetic step, as shown in Figure 2. In HAT mechanisms, the free radical removes one hydrogen atom of antioxidant, and the antioxidant itself becomes a radical. In this mechanism, the bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) is an important parameter in evaluating the antioxidant action [5]. The lower the BDE of the H-donating group in the potential antioxidant, the easier it will be for the reaction of free radical inactivation. The SET reaction is imitated by single-electron transfer from the nucleophile to the substrate, producing a radical intermediate, whose fate can then be involved in any number of events, as shown in Figure 2. In SET mechanisms, the antioxidant provides an electron to the free radical and itself then becomes a radical cation. In this mechanism, the ionization potential (IP) of the antioxidant is the most important energetic factor in evaluating the antioxidant action. The lower the ionization potential, the easier is the electron abstraction [6]. It is very difficult to distinguish between HAT and SET reactions. In most situations, these two reactions take place simultaneously, and the mechanism of the reaction is determined by the antioxidant’s structure and solubility, the partition coefficient and solvent polarity. Examples of HAT-based assays include ABTS and ORAC. Examples of SET-based assays include DPPH and FRAP
