Electronic absorption spectra of benzoquinone and its hydroxy substituents and effect of solvents on their spectra.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 56(5) , 965-81, (2000)

The electronic absorption spectra of 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) and its 2,5-dihydroxy and tetrahydroxy derivatives have been studied in detail. The interpretation of the electronic bands is made on the basis of PPP and CNDO calculations. It is found that the pi --...

Identification and characterization of hydroxyquinone hydratase activities from Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723.

Biodegradation 16(4) , 353-62, (2005)

Hydroxyquinol, a common metabolite of aromatic compounds, is readily auto-oxidized to hydroxyquinone. Enzymatic activities that metabolized hydroxyquinone were observed from the cell extracts of Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723. An enzyme capable of tr...

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) studies on 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DHBQ).

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 59(3) , 537-42, (2003)

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of solid 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone were measured and compared with IR and Raman data. The INS spectrum is very well reproduced in the region below 1000 cm(-1) by DFT calculations on the B3LYP/6-311++G** level us...

Comparison of conventional and synchrotron X-ray structure determinations of the adduct 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene-2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (1/1) and a conventional X-ray structure determination of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene monohydrate.

Acta Crystallogr. C 57(Pt 6) , 730-4, (2001)

The X-ray structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene (benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrol) monohydrate, C6H6O4*H2O, (I), reveals columns of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene parallel to the b axis that are separated by 3.364 (12) and 3.453 (11) A. Molecules in adjacent columns ar...

[Vibrational frequencies study of the hydroxy-benzoquinones].

Guang Pu Xue Yu Guang Pu Fen Xi 20(6) , 790-2, (2000)

In this paper, we report the Ab initio calculation and experimental investigation of the vibrational frequencies of 4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-benzoquinone and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone. The main IR and Raman absorption bands of them have been assigned, learned f...
