The Role of Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding in the Electrochemical Behavior of Hydroxy-Quinones and in Semiquinone Stability

The study of a selected group of α and β-hydroxyquinones ([α] 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone2HNQ, [β] 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone 5HNQ and [β, β]5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinoneDHNQ) showed that both type of functionalities differ considerably in...
