The two-step electrochemical reduction of tetrachloro-1,2-benzoquinone (chloranil), 2-methyl-1,2-benzoquinone (toluquinone), and 9,10-anthraquinone in two room-temperature ionic liquids is addressed by means of voltammetry on a platinum electrode. For the subsequent quinone/radical anion (Q/Q(•-)) and radical anion/dianion (Q(•-)/Q(2-)) redox reactions, the experimental data on formal potentials in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([C(4)mim][BF(4)]) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C(4)mim][PF(6)]) and literature data for the same reactants in various aprotic molecular solvents are considered in the framework of a common potential sequence (Fc(+)/Fc scale) and compared with solvation energies computed at various levels. For the Q/Q(•-) couple, the agreement appeared to be satisfactory when solvation is described at the polarized continuum model (PCM) level. In contrast, for the Q(•-)/Q(2-) couple, the account for specific solvation at the molecular level is crucial.
