Abstract
Kinetic studies of the semiquinone radical, the radical ion and the triplet state of duroquinone in solution are reported. A scheme of reaction is given which is consistent with all the kinetic data and is in excellent agreement with the assignments of part I. Values are obtained for the rate constants of the reactions 2
