-quinones. A study of their monoreduced semiquinone derivatives reveal that the spin density is delocalized across the whole molecule, including peripheral fragments. The first stable o-quinone derivative bearing an annulated thiete heterocycle has been isolated and characterized.

There are a number of methods which may be used for the synthesis of new o-quinones in order to vary their redox properties and coordination abilities. The key features of o-quinones are redox activity as well as chelating
