Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The kinetics of quenching the triplet states of quinones by phenols in liquid solutions are determined by the process of forming a hydrogen-bond complex between the triplet and the quenching agent and by transfer of a hydrogen atom in this complex.

  2. 2.

    The isotope effect for the rate constant in quenching triplet states of quinones by phenols first increases with increasing acidity of the phenol, and then drops off.

  3. 3.

    The quantum yields of phenoxyl and semiquinone radicals formed by quenching triplet states of quinones by phenols are usually close to 100%, In quenching by phenols with strong acidic properties, the quantum yield of the radicals is lower if the triplet state of the quinone has a low energy.
