“…26 Several approaches have been used to obtain a better understanding of the structure and spectra of various substituted quinones such as ubiquinones, 27-31 methoxy quinones, 27,32,33 plastoquinones, [34][35][36] and p-benzoquinone [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][37][38][39] and its halogen-substituted analogues, [20][21][22][23][24]40 etc. We have been involved in systematically investigating structures of quinones 24,31,39,[41][42][43] and their shortlived transient states with the specific objective of elucidating their structure-reactivity correlations.…”
