    Abstract

    Møller-Plesset perturbation theory at the level of third order (MP3) is used to compute two-electron reduction potentials for some substituted benzoquinones in aqueous solution. The calculations are carried out at the MP2 and MP3 levels with the use of continuum solvation method of PCM to mimic to role of solvent. Emphasis is placed on the use of two and third corrections of gas-phase energies. This model also gives electrode potential values in agreement with the experimental results.
