2.4 Determination of the yield of azo dye from the coupling reaction 98
Zollinger, in his study of the kinetics of coupling of arene-
diazonium salts to certain couplers, measured the yield of azo dye
produced by a method similar to our own (described below) in order to
obtain more accurate rate cons taints. For example, he used a figure
for the yield of 89.2% for the coupling reaction between 4-chloro-
benzenedizonium salts with 2-naphthol-6-sulphonic acid to calculate
a stoichiometric rate constant of 3 460 dm*mol *"s Using the
same percentage yield, we have obtained a value of 3 350 dm*mol *"s . 17 8
The apparatus for determination of azo dyes by reduction
by Ti111 (equation 88 ) is shown in Fig.17 and consists of a

graduated burette and a reservoir in which the contents are
continuously flushed with a stream of nitrogen to prevent oxidation
of the Ti to Ti
Method; The stock solution of TiCl^ is prepared by the addition of
15% TiCl^ solution (50 cm*) to previously boiled and ^-flushed,
cold,dilute 2 M HC1 (100 an'*) and then stored in A. The entire apparatus is flushed continuously with nitrogen. Hie burette is filled with TiCl^ solution and the sample of azo dye to be analysed
(in dilute HC1) placed in the flask, D, and flushed with nitrogen for 15 minutes. An excess of TiCl^ solution is added (of accurately known volume) and, after removal frcm the automatic burette, the

mixture boiled for 5-10 minutes. The flask is cooled rapidly in ice, and 10% ammonium thiocyanate solution (2 cm^) added. The remaining TiCl^ is back-titrated with ferric ammonium sulphate solution (0.104 M ) , previously standardised iodometrically, and the end point observed by the appearance of red ferric thiocyanate. TiClj is standardised lay a similar titration.

Problems:- It was found that the azo dye solutions prepared with
certain couplers (in excess, as in all our kinetics studies) gave
yellow-red solutions due to decomposed coupler after reduction
with TiCl^• Since the end-point is the appearance of a red colour,
in most of these cases it was impossible to obtain accurate results
and this method had to be abandoned. Potassium ferrocyanide was
tried as an alternative to ammonium thiocyanate, and although the
end-point was difficult to see, it was used to find the yield of dye
from sodium 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonate and 4-chloro-
benzenediazonium salts. Potassium dichromate as oxidant (with
diphenylamine indicator) was also tried as an alternative to ferric
amnonium sulphate, but was found to oxidise residual coupler.
Results:- Zollinger gives a percentage yield of 89.2% for the
reaction between 4-chlorobenzenediazonium salts and sodium 2-hydroxy
naphthalene-6-sulphonate. We obtained an average value from four
separate experiments of 89.3% ± 5% which shows that our method
gives reasonably accurate results (when the end-point is observable)
The only other azo dye to give a clear end-point in the
titration,and hence a reasonable value for the yield, was that from
the reaction of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium salts with sodium 2,3-
dihydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonate. The yield is 100.3% ± 0.2% from
88
the average of four titrations. Bagal also claims a yield of
100% for the coupling reaction between eight arenediazonium salts
and dimethylaniline in non-aqueous media, and so we conclude that
most relatively fast coupling reactions give yields of 100% azo
3. Results and Discussion
3.1 The structure of sodium syn-benzenediazotate-4-sulphonate
The debate about the structures of the two different forms of
acyldiazotates has a long and celebrated history and is discussed
in section 1.4.4. In view of the absence of definitive
crystallographic material relating to the aryldiazotate, which would
finally resolve the question, we have undertaken a low-temperature
crystal structure determination of a syn-aryldiazotate. A considerable
series of crystalline aryldiazotates were prepared, including the
sodium and tetramethyl-ammonium salts of anti-4-nitrobenzenediazotate
which crystallise as thin, irregular platelets which were unsuitable
for X-ray crystallographic determination. The only suitable crystals
which could be obtained were those of sodium syn-benzenediazotate-4-
sulphonate (prepared as described in section 2.1.6).
3.1.1 Structure determination
The small needle-shaped crystals were found to decompose at room
temperature in the X-ray beam. However, by cooling the crystal to
-150°C using a Syntex LT-1 attachment, this problem was overcome.
Unit cell dimensions and data were collected using a Syntex P2^ four-
circle diffractometer with a graphite monochromator. The small
crystal size required that the initial orientation photograph was given
only a partial rotation, and that all reflection centring was performed
at slow speed.

systematic absence, 0 )c 1, It + 1^* 2ri and h o 1, h * 2ri, indicates
either Pn a 2^ or Pnam as the space group. The latter would require
m or 1 symmetry for the molecule, and as these seem unlikely, the
non-centrosymmetric soace group was selected provisionally and shown
to be correct by refinement. Since a very weakly diffracting crystal
was used, data were collected slowly to achieve satisfactory accuracy.
Reflections were measured using © - 29 scans over a range 2 9 ^ - 0 . 8 to
29 _+ 0.8 to a maximum 29 of 45°. A variable scan rate of
a2
0.5° - 29.5° min 1 was used, depending on the intensity of a preliminary
2s count. Background counts were recorded at the end of each scan for
time equal to that of the scan. 1389 reflections were collected of
which 838 were considered observed Cl/a(I) i 3.0] and used in final
refinement. Lorentz and polarisation corrections were applied, but,
due to the small size of the crystal, not an absorption correction.
A Patterson synthesis revealed the position of sulphur (considered
as a 'heavy' atom) and Fourier methods were applied to locate all the
non-hydrogen atoms. Anisotropic temperature factors were used for the
sulphur and sodium atoms in the last stages of least-squares refinement.
Hydrogen atoms were not considered. The refinement converged to a
final R of 0.62, with unit weights Tor all reflections.
Computing was carried out with the SHELX-76 program (except for
the ORTEP diagrams which used XRAY-76) on a Burroughs B6700 computer.

3.1.2 Discussion of results
(i) The molecule (Fig. 18), was found to have the conventionally X38
accepted structure with the syn-diazotate group in a cis
configuration, and consequently the suggestion that the syn form has a
127
trans configuration is incorrect. The dimensions of the sulphonate 180 group are almost identical to those in benzenediazonium-4-sulphonate
although the benzene ring is less distorted. This would be expected
as the diazotate group is a much weaker electron-withdrawing substituent 138
than the diazonium group . Kiibbler and Luttke predicted from the
infra-red spectra of a series of substituted aryldiazotates that the
syn-aryldiazotate has a non-planar structure and, by comparison with
compounds having isoelectronic groups, that the syn-diazotate group is
cisoid and distorted in some unspecified way. The C(4) — N(l) bond
makes a slight angle (5.5 (9)°) with the plane of the ring and the
diazotate group (itself planar), has a dihedral angle of 69.1 (13)°
with the ring plane. Comparison with the crystal structure of 141
potassium syn-methyldiazotate shows significant differences,
l.e. (a) N(l) — N(2) and N(2) — 0(4) in the aromatic compound are fairly
similar, 1.296(13) 8 and 1.318(11) 8 respectively whereas in the
aliphatic diazotate they are substantially different, i.e. 1.246(8) and
1.306(7) 8 respectively. This indicates more extensive delocalisation
in sodium syn-benzenediazotate-4-sulphonate, viz.
