Abstract

It is well known that the potential of the quinone-hydroquinone system is usually altered radically by substituents attached to the quinone nucleus, but there are as yet no data from which to determine whether the effect of a substituent can be transmitted through a phenyl group. It thus seemed of interest to study a series of phenylquinones with various substituents situated in the aryl group.
