Studies on the metabolism of azo compounds related to p-aminoazobenzene in the rat so far have indicated that: (a) Fission of the azo linkage occurs (4, 12); (b) Dealkylation of N-methyl derivatives (10) and the N-ethyl derivative (5) occurs, at least to some extent, prior to reduction fission; (c) Partial reduction to hydrazo compounds which undergo a benzidine rearrangement in acid solution m...

Each mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(18)N(4)O(6), is located on an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central N-N bond. The azo groups C=N of the Schiff base group have an E conformation and the azo groups in the oxime C=N-O groups have a Z conformation. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring mol-ecules into infinite monolayers perpendicular to the a axis.

Azo dyes are widely used colorants in consumer products such as leather, textiles, agriculture, cosmetics and in laboratories as indicators. This paper describes the synthesis of some novel azo dyes starting from 3-nitro salicylic acid. The synthesized dyes were investigated for their redox potentials, evaluated for their dying ability on cotton fabrics, resistivity against the fungi growth on ...

Addition of ammonium acetate fo llowed by commerc ial zinc dust to the solution of azo compounds in methanol appcars to o ffer a general and convenient mea ns for reducing bot h sym metri ca l and unsymmetrical azo compounds to the corresponding amine/s at ambient temperature. Many other reducible and hydrogenolysable groups like -OCH1. -OH. -COOH, -CH1• -COCH) and halogens are to lerated. The ...

The title azo mol-ecule, C16H9Br3N2O, adopts a trans conformation with respect to the azo N=N double bond. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring is 33.80 (16)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked in columns along the a axis by π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.815 (3) and ...

Biochemical degradation test of food coal-tar dyes using sludge was studied in order to evaluate their safety. It was found that some dyes were little decomposed under aerobic condition but four azo dyes were readily decomposed under anaerobic condition. These were Food Yellow No. 4, No. 5, and Food Red No. 2, No. 102. Decomposed products of these four azo dyes by sludge under anaerobic conditi...

In this paper, Al-doped ZnO thin film transistors (AZO-TFT) were fabricated by the thermal evaporation growth of AZO channel layer on a silicon substrate at temperatures below 250°C. A SiO2 dielectric layer grown by the horizontal furnace was used as a gate. An active layer thickness of 10nm was measured by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and its surface had root mean square (rms) roughness 12.6...

Liquid crystal photo-alignment using azo-dyes for display and photonics applications is discussed. Various types of the glass and plastic substrates are used. Special types of 3D LC alignment, LC alignment inside thin micro tubes, and LC cladding layers in Si based waveguides and grating surface are concerned. The azo-dye photoalignment of polymerized LC films used as optical elements, such as ...

Potentiometric pKa and polarographic behaviour of I ,3-indandione-monoxime-2-phenyl azo and four of its substituted derivatives were investigated in buffer solution of pH -2-12. The results showed that the compounds are in the azo-form, where its reduction wave precedes that of the oxime. A mechanism for the electrodic processes was proposed. Half-wave potentials showed fair correlation with Ha...

BACKGROUND Many dyes can be considered emerging contaminants. The most widely used dyes belong to the class of azo compounds, some of which are known to have toxic and genotoxic properties. They are used in great quantities in textile activities and are of environmental concern because of their potential discharge in water. Planarians have been successfully used as test organisms in hazard eval...
