• - and p-benzoquinone where the difference in the redox potential is 0.07 V [11] corresponding to 3 kcal mol-1. It may also be relevant that quinones are subject to attack by the hydroxyl ion to form (eventually) humic acids and that o-quinones are more reactive than p-quinones. [12][13] An analogous
