Photochemistry of benzenediazonium anthracenesulfonates: photolysis of benzenediazonium salts by excitation of the anion
Abstract
4-Substituted benzenediazonium 1,8-dimethoxyanthracene-3-sulfonates photodecompose under visible light, which is absorbed only by the anionic part, via intra-ion pair electron transfer from the excited anionic part to the benzene diazonium.
