Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling01:11

Aryldiazonium Salts to Azo Dyes: Diazo Coupling

The reaction of weakly electrophilic aryldiazonium (also called arenediazonium) salts with highly activated aromatic compounds leads to the formation of products with an —N=N— link, called an azo linkage. This reaction, presented in Figure 1, is known as diazo coupling and occurs without the loss of the nitrogen atoms of the aryldiazonium salt. Highly activated aromatic compounds such as phenols or arylamines favor the diazo coupling reaction. The coupling generally occurs at the para position.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of Van-Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles via nanoparticle deposition and chemical cross-linking.
  • Assessment of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV illumination.
  • Evaluation of photocatalytic inactivation of sulphate-reducing bacteria (Desulfotomaculum) and Van-resistant bacteria (Vibrio anguillarum) under UV and dark conditions.

Main Results:

  • The synthesized Van-Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles demonstrated high efficiency in degrading methylene blue.
  • Van-Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles effectively prevented bacterial cell growth of Van-sensitive bacteria under UV irradiation.
