The dissociation constants of 3-hydroxybiphenyl, 4-hydroxybiphenyl, 3'-nitro-4-hydroxybiphenyl, 4'-nitro-4-hydroxy-biphenyl, 2-hydroxyfluorene and 2-hydroxy-7-nitrofluorene havebeen measured by a spectrophotometric method in aqueou s borate-boric acid buffers. The data are interpreted as indicating a lack of significantcontribution by contributing struc-tures involving conjugation between the two benzene rings to the electronic structures of the ground states of the conjugate bases of these compounds. An explanation of this conclusion is given.Recent studies of the effect of a group X in the 3'-or 4'-position on the reactivity of a substituent Y in the 4-position of a substituted biphenyl have raised some question as to the ability of the biphenyl system to transmit substituent effects by resonance hybridization involving the quinonoid
