Abstract

Quinoid systems such as quinones, quinone methides, quinodimethanes, and quinodiimines have been widely investigated regarding their chemical, biological, and physical properties. 1 Of special interest are their utility as charge transfer complexes due to the relatively low energy barrier between the ground and excited states. Some metal stabilized quinone methides have also been reported recently. 2 Remarkably, no ...
