Density functional theory investigations of radical scavenging activity of 3′-Methyl-quercetin

The possible eight rotamers of 3′-Methyl-quercetin have been optimized by using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G∗ level of theory. The molecular structure and molecular properties of the most stable rotamers have been investigated at the same level of theory. We have computed the descr...
