Abstract

The interactions of substituted ortho- and para-quinones with indium(III) halides and the InI4– anion have been studied in non-aqueous solution. para-Quinones and InI3 give rise to stable 1∶1 adducts, which are diamagnetic in the solid state, but which decompose in solution to form ([hair space]p-sq)InI2 derivatives, where p-sq˙– is the corresponding semiquinonate. With ortho-quinones, the reaction products are (o-sq)InI2 which react with 4-methylpyridine (pic) to form (o-sq)InI2pic2. The electron spin resonance spectra of these products, and their solution chemistry, are discussed. The reactions involve intramolecular one-electron transfer, resulting in oxidation of the iodide ligand. In contrast, the reaction of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone with InI4– apparently involves intermolecular electron transfer; in this case, the products are I3– and the corresponding catecholate (dbc), isolated as the solid InI(dbc)pic2. The mechanisms of these various processes are discussed.
