Reduction potentials in water at pH 7 (in mV, vs. NHE), kET/kHAT ratio, and kET (in M−1 s−1) for phenols 1, 2, 3, and 5.

phenol k ET/kHAT k ET E 0
1 1.5 × 106 8.8 × 103 970a
2 1.4 × 105 8.9 × 102b 1060a
3 5.4 × 104 3.1 × 106 617c
5 1.6 × 104 3.7 × 105 290d
a

From ref. 14 In the same work redox potentials (at pH > 12) for 1˙/1 and 2˙/2 are 790 mV, and 1000 mV, respectively.14

b

This is the upper value, the lower kET can be 35 M−1 s−1, see explanation in the text.

c

Measured in water with Britten–Robinson buffer vs. Hg|Hg2SO4|K2SO4 electrode and recalculated into NHE.17

d

From ref. 18. This value is very close to E0 for quercetin at pH 7.19
