A freshly crystallized quinone. Quinones are a class of organic compounds that are formally “derived from aromatic compounds [such as benzene or naphthalene] by conversion of an even number of –CH= groups into –C(=O)– groups with any necessary rearrangement of double bonds”, resulting in “a fully conjugated cyclic dione structure”.They are usually formed by the oxidation of the corresponding phenolis compound, just as in case of hydroquione (phenol) and benzoquoinone as seen:To get the above seen picture as a background on your screen or on your wall, just download it and use it as you wish!
