Abstract

Electron-transfer reduction of p-benzoquinone (Q) and 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), in the presence of [R-(R,R)]-2,6-bis(4,5-dihydro-4-phenyl-2-oxazolinyl)pyridine [Sc3+(R)-pybox] results in formation of chiral π-radical anion dimer complexes [(Q•-)2-(Sc3+(R)-pybox)2 and (NQ•-)2-(Sc3+(R)-pybox)2, respectively].
