65. The equilibrium constants between the radical cations of naphthalene and durene as well as between naphthalene and 1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene in acetonitrile were determined previously to be 2.4 and 0.24, respectively ( Gould, I. R.; Ege, D.; Moser, J. E.; Farid, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1990, 112, 4290). Based on the oxidation potential of durene (1.75 V vs SCE) and 1,2,3,5-tetramethylbenzene (1.82 V) an oxidation potential of 1.78 ± 0.01 V is calculated for naphthalene.
