14 Reference (Isodesmic) Reactions In our implementation, the reference reaction always pertains to the reaction involving our reference species (1). An example of the use of a reference reaction for the calculation of a reduction potential is depicted in Scheme S1. In this case, the reaction of interest is the 1 e reduction of benzoquinone (2) from [2] 0 to [2], and the reference reaction is the oxidation of [1] to [1] 0. Scheme S1. Calculation of Reduction Potentials Using a Reference Reaction [2] 0 + e [2] FE o [1] ref [1] ref 0 [1] ref + [2] 0 0 [1] ref + e o FE ref + [2] o G r The reduction potential for the system of interest (2) can then be expressed as o o Gr o E E ref F where G o r is the free energy change associated with the reaction shown at the bottom of o Scheme S1 and E ref is the reduction potential of the reference species (1), which is known from experimental measurements. A reference reaction can also be used to calculate pka values, which is shown in Scheme S2. In this case, the reaction of interest is the deprotonation of [H2] + to form [2] 0, and the reference reaction is the protonation of [1] 0 to form [H1] +. Scheme S2. Calculation of pka Values Using a Reference Reaction [H2] + [2] 0 + H + ln(10)rtpka + H + [H1] ref ln(10)rtpka,ref 0 [1] ref 0 [1] ref + [H2] [H1] ref + [2] 0 G r o The pka for the system of interest (2) can then be expressed as o Gr p Ka ([H 2 ] ) pka,ref ln(10) RT where G o r is the free energy change associated with the reaction shown at the bottom of Scheme S2 and pk a,ref is the pka value of the reference species [H1] +, which is known from experimental measurements. Note that in practice, we only calculated the pka values for the reduced benzoquinone species using analogous reference reactions. S14

The σm values were used for halogen substituents, the σp values were used for substituents capable of conjugating with the reaction center, and the σp values were used for all other substituents.

Plots of the 1 e reduction potentials and pka values as functions of the sum of the effective Hammett constants ( p) for the electron-donating quinones shown in Chart S1 for which experimental values are known.

Plots of the 2 e /2 H + reduction potentials (darkly filled circles), the sum of the pka values (lightly filled circles), and the average of the two 1 e reduction potentials (open circles) as functions of the sum of the effective Hammett constants ( ) for different quinone substitution schemes. The quinones studied are in Chart 2 of the main text. S18

20 Figure S35. Plots of the E [Q/Q ] reduction potential versus (a) the 2 e /1 H + reduction potentials (hydride transfer), (b) the average of the two 1 e reduction potentials, and (c) the pka values for all of the quinones given in Chart 2 of the main text. S20

21 Figure S36. Analysis of tautomers for select quinones with NH2, OH, SH, and CO2H substituents for the neutral quinone (Q), quinone radical anion (Q ), and quinone dianion (Q 2 ) states. Relative free energies in kcal/mol are given in parentheses when more than one tautomer for a given state is given. For the CO2H substituents, the dianion species exhibit spontaneous intramolecular proton transfer for hydrogen-bonding conformations. Quinones with multiple protic substituents could display enhanced effects but are unlikely to alter the qualitative trends for the 1 e versus 2 e /2 H + reduction potentials. S21

22 Figure S37. Correlations between the 1 e reduction potentials, E [Q/Q ], of quinones and their effective Hammett constants ( ). The gray data points were used to generate the linear fit, and the colored data points were found to exhibit deviations from these linear fits and are defined in the legend, with the specific substituents in each group given in the SI (Table S10).
