The thermodynamic parameters, K-disp, Delta H degrees and Delta S degrees, controlling the disproportionation of semiquinones derived from 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), 2-methylbenzoquinone (MBQ), menadione (MNQ), naphthazarin (NZQ) and quinizarin (QNZ), have been determined. Smaller disproportionation constants, K-disp, are observed upon addition of a fused benzene ring to the semiquinone structure. Negative enthalpies and positive entropies of disproportionation govern the disproportionation equilibria. Addition of OH groups to the 5 and 8 positions in NQ(.-) displaces the disproportionation equilibrium to the semiquinone probably due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
