O2•– forms a stable 1:1 complex with scandium hexamethylphosphoric triamide [Sc(HMPA)33+], which can be detected by ESR in solution at ambient temperature. We report the kinetics and mechanism of electron-transfer reactions from the O2•––Sc(HMPA)33+ complex to a series of electron acceptors: p-benzoquinone derivatives, such as p-benzoquinone and coenzyme Q10. Electron transfer from the O2•––Sc(HMPA)33+ complex top-benzoquinone derivatives occurred, accompanied by binding of Sc(HMPA)33+ to the corresponding semiquinone radical anion complex to produce the semiquinone radical anion-Sc(HMPA)33+ complexes. There are two reaction pathways, in the Sc(HMPA)33+-coupled electron transfer. One is a stepwise pathway, in which the binding of Sc(HMPA)33+ to semiquinone radical anions occurs after the electron transfer. The other is a concerted pathway in which electron transfer and the binding of Sc(HMPA)33+ occurs in a concerted manner., SFRBM/SFRRI 2010}, title = {Electron Transfer from Stable Superoxide Complex to electron Acceptors as Benzoquinone Derivatives}, year = {2010} }
