The influence of electron donating tendency on electrochemical oxidative behavior of hydroquinone: Experimental and theoretical investigations

The effect of electron donating tendency on the oxidative behavior of hydroquinone (HQ) on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) at room temperature was studied by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) techniques in aqueous acetonitrile solution. The oxidation potential of HQ shifted to increasingly more negative direction as electron donating tendency increased due to the presence of...
