Abstract

The effect of 2,5 and 2,6 disubstitution (R = CH3, Cl, C(CH3)3) for 1,4-benzoquinones, in the reorganization energy (l) for the first electron uptake process was analyzed in acetonitrile solution. Data obtained by cyclic voltammetry suggested differences in l for each type of disubstitution analyzed. These differences have important consequences in the stability and structure of the electrogenerated benzosemiquinone species, which was verified by performing in-situ spectroelectrochemical-ESR (Electron Spin Resonance) experiments of each disubstituted semiquinone.
