Abstract

Abstract A series of new type of benzo [b] thiophene-fused 1, 4-benzoquinones and their tetracyanoquinodimethane derivatives were synthesized. The cyclic voltammetric data of new type quinones and tetracyanoquinodimethane derivatives displayed different behavior. All new quinones exhibit two reduction waves corresponding to the radical anion and dianion. On the other hand, most tetracyanoquinodimethane derivatives display a ...
