The X-ray structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene (benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrol) monohydrate, C6H6O4*H2O, (I), reveals columns of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene parallel to the b axis that are separated by 3.364 (12) and 3.453 (11) A. Molecules in adjacent columns are tilted relative to each other by 27.78

Hydroxyquinol, a common metabolite of aromatic compounds, is readily auto-oxidized to hydroxyquinone. Enzymatic activities that metabolized hydroxyquinone were observed from the cell extracts of Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723. An enzyme capable of transforming hydroxyquinone was partially purified, and its activities

In this paper, we report the Ab initio calculation and experimental investigation of the vibrational frequencies of 4,5-dihydroxy-1,2-benzoquinone and 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone. The main IR and Raman absorption bands of them have been assigned, learned from other strong points to offset one

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of solid 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone were measured and compared with IR and Raman data. The INS spectrum is very well reproduced in the region below 1000 cm(-1) by DFT calculations on the B3LYP/6-311++G** level using Gaussian and
