Mechanisms of Photoreactions of 2,6-Diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone and Its Dimer in Different Solvents

Abstract

An investigation of 2,6-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone (a class of substituted benzoquinones) and its dimer is performed to study the effect the solvents have on the reactivity of semiquinone radicals and their complexes and the courses of their reactions.
