Abstract

The redox potentials of a series of methyl-substituted quinones and hydroquinones having p- tolylthio substituents were determined polarographically in 50% methanol at pH 5.37. The substituent effects are not additive, as shown by a break in the plot of Ellr us. Zup-1re (summation of Hammett a-para constants of methyl). The break occurs with those compounds in which the p-tolylthio group is flanked by a methyl group, giving halfwave ...
