Linear free‐energy relationships for a series of functionalized semiquinone ligands and their Mn II ‐ and Cu II hydro‐tris(3‐cumenyl‐5‐methylpyrazolyl) borate complexes were examined. Quinone–semiquinone cycle half‐wave reduction potentials and semiquinone hydrogen hyperfine coupling constants (a H ) were determined and their correlation with Hammett σ parameters reported. A new σ parameter, σ aH , has been proposed. Mn II and Cu II metal complex metal–ligand charge transfer and n  → π* UV transitions were found to be modulated by substituents. Satisfactory Hammett correlations between UV transitions and various σ values have been determined and compared in a number of instances. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
