Experimental and Theoretical Study of the High-Temperature UV-Visible Spectra of Aqueous Hydroquinone and 1,4-Benzoquinone
UV-visible spectroscopic studies of aqueous hydroquinone (HQ) and 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ) have been carried out along with classical molecular dynamics (MD) and quantum calculations. The experimental results confirmed that HQ is stable in hot compressed water up to at least 523 K at 70 bar, but BQ dec...
