Introduction

We are going to collect an ESR spectrum from a series of substituted hydroquinones.

Hydroquinones.png

Name SDS Molar Mass Sigma Product Number Cost
A = Hydroquinone (aka. 1,4-benzohydroquinone) SDS 110.11 g/mol H9003 22.90 / 100g
B = Methylhydroquinone SDS 124.14 g/mol 112968 59.20 / 250g
C = 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone SDS 138.16 g/mol 300756 118.00 / 5g

Experimental

Beaker Method

  • Solution A: 1 M NaOH; 1 gram NaOH (39.997 g/mol) into 25 mL EtOH.
  • Solution B: 1 M hydroquinone solution; 1.1 gram HQ in 10 mL EtOH.
  • Procedure: To 2 ml of 1 M hydroquinone solution add 2-3 drops of solution A. A color change will indicate the reaction has occurred. Quickly transfer colored sample to ESR sample tube, place in ESR spectrometer, tune, and collected data.

Flow Method

  • Solution A: 0.05 M NaOH; 0.05 grams NaOH (39.997 g/mol) into 25 ml EtOH.
  • Solution B: 1 M hydroquinone solution.
  • Procedure: Prepare two 60 ml syringes, 1 with solution A and 1 with solution B.
  • Degas the syringe that contains solution B
  • Attach to double syringe drive
  • Turn on double syringe drive that is attached to ESR
  • Collect data

Results

1-electron Oxidation of Hydroquinone

14BZQ.jpg


This is the EPR spectrum of the "hydro-semiquinone" (aka. 1,4-benzosemiquinone)

EPR Parameters: 9.4 GHz, 3360 G Center field, 15 G sweep width. [Above data needs the x-axis changed over to magnetic field in G]

1-electron Oxidation of Methylhydroquinone

EPR MeH2Q.jpg


This is the EPR spectrum of the "methyl-hydro-semiquinone" (aka. methyl-semiquinone)

EPR Parameters: 9.4 GHz, 3360 G Center field, 15 G sweep width. [Above data needs the x-axis changed over to magnetic field in G]
