Abstract

Basicity of 1,4-tetracenequinone to the first and the second protonation degrees has been studied spectrophotometrically. Electronic spectra of mono- and diprotonated 1,4-tetracenequinone have been interpreted on the basis of the PPP method in the approximation of invariable βc and γ integrals.
