Substituted benzoquinones like DCDMQ and TMQ were tested to see how well they can accept electrons in the photosynthetic process. DCDMQ was found to be a better electron acceptor than regular benzoquinones, while TMQ didn't work as well. This means these substituted compounds could be useful in helping plants with their photosynthesis.
