The photodecomposition of menadione in aqueous electron donor solutions were studied. As a result of these measurements, it was found that menadione was stabilized in the presence of various electron donors. Therefore, the relationships between the rate of stabilization and the various constants related to the complex formation which is due to the mutual reaction of electrons between menadione and various electron donors seemed to play an important role in stabilization of menadione.
