Abstract

The paper mentioned in the title contains inaccuracies and misleading interpretations that seriously misrepresent basic knowledge about tautomerism in azo dyes. Therefore, we aim in this Letter to correct the most obvious mistakes, to address the misrepresentation of the main issues of tautomerism, and to give a better understanding of the basic principles of the tautomerisation process.
