Abstract
A DETERMINATION of the electric dipole moment of p-benzoquinone in benzene solution by Hassel and Naeshagen1 gave the value of 0.67 D (D = 1018 E.S.U.). Since p-quinone is usually assigned a symmetrical planar structure which should have zero moment, a further investigation of this anomaly was undertaken. The re-measurement confirmed Hassel and Naeshagen's value, and the work was extended to similar compounds with the following results:
