3 Validating DFT methods for predicting the BDE of different C C, C H, O H and C OH bonds in vitamin A Different small species which have reasonably similar molecular structure with a part of the vitamin A one are chosen to calculate BDEs of C C, C H, C OH, or O H bonds using the six DFT methods (i.e. M06, BMK, PBE, HSEH1PBE, TSSSTPSS and B3LYP) and the two basic sets (i.e. 6-31G basis set for structural optimization and G(2d,2p) for single point energy calculation). Indeed, a series of different compounds including cyclohexene, methylcyclohexene, cyclohexane, methyl- and ethyl-cyclohexane, and different straight-chain alcohols containing up to 5 carbon atoms is used for this series of calculation (Figure S1). The comparison of the calculated results obtained with the experimental ones allows validating the calculation methods chosen for the present study.

5 As a result, the calculated BDE values of the small species evaluated in this study are resumed in Table S1. All the BDE values were investigated at restricted open shell level and at the G(2d,2p) basis set. And the values in parentheses consist in the deviation between experimental and calculated data. As can be seen, the BMK method gives a maximal deviation from 0.5 to 3.2 kcal/mol. While, the higher experimented/calculated differences from 0.4 to 22.3 kcal/mol, from 5.6 to 5.7 kcal/mol, and from 0.8 to 5.4 kcal/mol are observed for the M06 method, the PBE method and the HSEH1PBE one, respectively. And the TPSSTPSS and B3LYP level of theory lead to the deviation from 10.6 to 10.9 kcal/mol and from 10.2 to 10.4 kcal/mol, respectively. So, it can be seen that the BMK method provides the best fit between experimental and computational data for the small species chosen. For that reason, this DFT method will be used for further calculations. 5

6 Solvation enthalpy calculations for Diethyl ether solvent Solvation enthalpies of proton and electron in DEE solvent was calculated in proposing that a proton or an electron when surrounded by another solvent molecules will bind to a solvent molecule (DEE sol ) to yield a charged particle DEE or DEE. And these particles are embedded in a dielectric continuum. H +DEE DEE H, H sol (H + ) (R.S1) e +DEE DEE e, H sol (e ) (R.S2) Thus, solvent enthalpies of proton and electron can be provided by the following equations: H H =H DEE H H DEE H H (Eq.S1) H e =H DEE e H DEE H e (Eq.S2) Using (Eq.7) and (Eq.8), the solvation enthalpies of proton and electron in DEE solvent calculated at BMK/ G(2d,2p)//BMK/6-31G model chemistries were equal to and kcal/mol, respectively. Cartesian coordinates of neutral, anion and cation forms of diethyl ether (DEE) molecule in the same solvent optimized at BMK/6-31G level of theory are shown in Table S2 of Supporting information. 6
