  • Department of Chemistry, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, West Bengal, India Manuscript received 8 September 1978, revised 24 January 1980, accepted 9 April 1980 Solid compounds of para-benzoquinone (PBQ) with amino acids (glycine, alanine, methionine and arginine) were prepared. Analysis of the data confirms that the composition of the compounds formed between PBQ and aminoacids are generally in the ratio 1 : 2. Efforts have been made to explore the nature of the compounds. The compounds are diamagnetic in character. Solid compounds show marked semiconducting properties, the energy of activation being in the range of 0.80-1.15 ev.
