A novel catalyst which integrates heterogeneous and homogenous Fenton reactions is designed and fabricated by encapsulating 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2,5-DBQ) in ECDP-Fe3O4, a composite of Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized on a β-cyclodextrin polymer (ECDP) with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as cross-linking agent.

Conformational changes associated to sensing mechanisms of heme-based protein sensors are a key molecular event that seems to modulate not only the protein activity but also the potential of the Fe

Inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of solid 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone were measured and compared with IR and Raman data. The INS spectrum is very well reproduced in the region below 1000 cm(-1) by DFT calculations on the B3LYP/6-311++G** level using Gaussian and

The electronic absorption spectra of 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) and its 2,5-dihydroxy and tetrahydroxy derivatives have been studied in detail. The interpretation of the electronic bands is made on the basis of PPP and CNDO calculations. It is found that the pi
Hydroxyquinol, a common metabolite of aromatic compounds, is readily auto-oxidized to hydroxyquinone. Enzymatic activities that metabolized hydroxyquinone were observed from the cell extracts of Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723. An enzyme capable of transforming hydroxyquinone was partially purified, and its activities
