Abstract
Quantum-chemical calculations indicate that the bond lengths in the anthraquinone anthracene backbone are shorter than the corresponding bonds in unsubstituted anthracene. The shape of the frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) indicates the possibility of more efficient electron capture by the anthraquinone molecule than by the anthracene molecule while maintaining stability in the conditions prevailing in electrochemical cells. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies indicate the temperature stability of anthraquinone above the melting point up to 300°C. The glass transition is determined at about 100°C.
