Abstract
The rate of the spontaneous decomposition of 4-methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate, 4MBD, was determined. The effects of solvent composition (MeOH/ H2O) on its electrochemical processes and on those of the derivatized 2-naphthol-6-sulfonate-4-toluene (6S2NPT) azo dye were investigated by Differential Pulse Polarography (DPP). This electrochemical technique shows an effective sensitivity for detecting arenediazonium ions and derivatized azo dyes.
