The electrode potentials for two stepwise cathodic reductions of eight different quinone derivatives in acetonitrile solution have been calculated using ab initio quantum mechanical method at the HF/6-31G** level of theory. The polarizable continuum model is used to describe the solute-solvent interactions of the quinone derivatives and their corresponding radical anions and dianions. A linear relationship was observed between the theoretically predicted values in this work and experimentally determined electrode reduction potentials of the quinones derivatives.
