Computational Nutraceutics: Chemical Reactivity Properties of the Flavonoid Naringin by Means of Conceptual DFT

Table 2

Electrophilic and nucleophilic condensed Fukui functions and over the atoms of the Naringin molecule calculated with the M06, M06L, M06-2X, and M06-HF density functionals and the MIDIY basis set. The actual values have been multiplied by 100 for an easier comparison. H atoms are not shown.
