The Raman features of semiquinone radical structures typical for protonated emeraldine salt are enhanced by near-infrared excitation; in contrast, the Raman features of
quinonoid units typical for the PANI base are enhanced with a red excitation line [20].
A decrease in the degree of oxidation of the polyaniline chain was observed with an increasing of Co content on the surface, by reducing the
quinonoid units to benzenoid ones.
The peaks corresponding to benzenoid (NH-B-NH) and
quinonoid (NH-Q-NH) rings are observed around 1590,1500, and 1300 [cm.sup.-1], respectively [30, 31].

Quinonoid metal complexes: Toward molecular switches.
Aurine, on the other hand, because of ionization of its hydroxyl groups, resists further hydroxylation and shows reduction of the
quinonoid form up to at least pH 11.7.
Synthesis and antitumor activity of
quinonoid derivatives of cannabinoids.
Such molecules participate in different pathways yielding various types of phenoxy radicals, which lead to chain cleavage or colored
quinonoid molecules.
The antimycobacterial activity of
quinonoid compounds, particularly those isolated from natural sources, has remained unexplained.
The activity of this enzyme was assayed, as described previously (24), by monitoring the oxidation of NADH during the reduction of 6,7-dimethyldihydropterin (
quinonoid isomer) to 6,7-dimethyltetrahydropterin, catalyzed by DHPR.
Chemical modifications were performed on these compounds to address this issue and modification of the
quinonoid center of [alpha]-lapachone followed by epoxidation generated the epoxy-[alpha]-lapachone (Figure 1(e)) and epoxymethoxy-lawsone (Figure 1(f)), derivatives potentially less toxic for mammalian cells [22, 23].
