A novel catalyst which integrates heterogeneous and homogenous Fenton reactions is designed and fabricated by encapsulating 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (2,5-DBQ) in ECDP-Fe3O4, a composite of Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized on a β-cyclodextrin polymer (ECDP) with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) as cross-linking agent.

Hydroxyquinol, a common metabolite of aromatic compounds, is readily auto-oxidized to hydroxyquinone. Enzymatic activities that metabolized hydroxyquinone were observed from the cell extracts of Sphingobium chlorophenolicum ATCC 39723. An enzyme capable of transforming hydroxyquinone was partially purified, and its activities

The X-ray structure of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene (benzene-1,2,4,5-tetrol) monohydrate, C6H6O4*H2O, (I), reveals columns of 1,2,4,5-tetrahydroxybenzene parallel to the b axis that are separated by 3.364 (12) and 3.453 (11) A. Molecules in adjacent columns are tilted relative to each other by 27.78
