Hello all,

im doing DFT calculations with AMS ADF software on two organic molecules. I am doing calculations to study their antioxidant activity by the mean of HAT, SET-PT and SPLET mechanisms. I found so many articls in this field and type s calculations, and i found in litterature Enthalpy values of H radical, H proton and electron.

I took that values but when i calculate the BDE (bond dissociation enthalpy) i found negative values!!!!

All calculations i found in literature are made by Gaussian software. I work with ADF as mentioned before.

My questions:

- is is normal to find such negative values of BDE?

- Can i find enthalpies of H radical, H proton and electron from ADF software? maybe the values i took are not correct!

wish to have recommendations and answer to my problem.

Thx so much
