Abstract
IN relation to work recently summarized1, we have under investigation a number of diazo-oxides. Certain of those theoretically derived from o- and p-aminophenols (and their derivatives) are included. Satisfactory formulations for these have been debated for years2,4. Earlier writers proposed structures involving rings, such as I3,4 or II5, or quinonoid forms, such as III6. Hodgson and Marsden2 conclude, however, that both the o- and the p- series are best regarded as resonance hybrids of the type
