DETECTION OF AN INTERMEDIATE TERNARY COMPLEX IN THE REDUCTION OF p-BENZOQUINONE DERIVATIVES BY AN NADH MODEL COMPOUND IN THE PRESENCE OF Mg2+ ION

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1983.1755

A transient charge-transfer (CT) band of a ternary complex due to the CT transition from an NADH model compound - Mg²⁺ ion complex to a p-benzoquinone derivative was observed in the reduction of a p-benzoquinone derivative by an NADH model compound in the presence of Mg²⁺ ion in acetonitrile.The role of the ternary complex in the reduction by an NADH model compound is reported.
