In this work, the electrochemical behavior of a series of four p-quinones was studied experimentally and theoretically. The first and second one-electron reduction potentials of the quinones were determined using cyclic voltammetry and correlated with those calculated by density functional theory (DFT) using three different functionals, BHandHLYP, M06-2x and PBE0. The differences among the experimental reduction potentials were explained in terms of structural effects on the stabilities of the formed species. DFT calculations accurately reproduced the first one-electron experimental reduction potentials with R-2 higher than 0.94. The BHandHLYP functional presented the best fit to the experimental values (R-2 = 0.957), followed by M06-2x (R-2 = 0.947) and PBE0 (R-2 = 0.942).
