Dynamics of adduct formation of hydroquinone under oxidative conditions observed by laser spectroscopy

Abstract

Hydroxylated products of hydroquinone (H₂Q) are induced via [Fe(ox)₃]^3-–H₂O₂ under light and detected in the visible region by laser spectroscopy; reaction of hydroxyl radicals with (H₂Q) is observed leading to adduct formation.
