Conclusions

  1. 1.

    3,6-Di-tert-butyl-o-quinone (I) forms both hydrogen-bonded and donor-acceptor complexes with 3,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol (II) and 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol (III) in CCl4, and n-hexane solutions. The concentrations of these two types of complexes are approximately equal.

  2. 2.

    Photoreduction of quinone (I) at 77 K occurs in both the H-bonded and donor-acceptor complexes.

  3. 3.

    A new mechanism has been proposed to account for radical formation and stabilization in mixed complexes with both H-bonding and donor-acceptor interactions.
