The properties of 3-Cyano-4, 6-Dimethyl-2-Pyridone (CDPy) were analyzed to study the antioxidant behavior. The UV-Visible absorption and fluorescence properties of CDPy have been studied in two protic (water and methanol) and two aprotic (acetonitrile and dimethyl sulfoxide) solvents. Its antioxidant properties were compared with well known antioxidant ascorbic acid. This compound, CDPy was found to exhibits moderate antioxidant properties. The experimental results were reproduced by theoretical density functional methods, which helped to understand the experimental result better.

不同质子和非质子溶剂中CDPy分子的光谱研究和抗氧化性能研究。

分析了3-氰基-4、6-二甲基-2-吡啶酮（CDPy）的性质，以研究其抗氧化性能。已经在两种质子传递剂（水和甲醇）和两种非质子传递剂（乙腈和二甲基亚砜）中研究了CDPy的紫外可见吸收和荧光性质。将其抗氧化性能与众所周知的抗氧化剂抗坏血酸进行了比较。发现该化合物CDPy具有中等的抗氧化性能。通过理论密度泛函方法再现了实验结果，有助于更好地理解实验结果。
