Tuning the reduction potential of quinones by controlling the effects of hydrogen bonding, protonation and proton-coupled electron transfer reactions
An all-organic cell comprising 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-napthoquinone and pyrano[3,2-f]chromene as electroactive elements exhibited a good combination of large cell voltage and stability of the reduced quinone upon the addition of diethyl malonate (a weak organic acid), as compared to the addition of triflu...
