azoyhdisteen
An azoyhdiste is a type of organic compound characterized by the presence of at least one azo group (R-N=N-R'). The azo group consists of two nitrogen atoms linked by a double bond, with each nitrogen atom also bonded to an organic substituent, typically an alkyl or aryl group. These compounds are often colored, with the intensity and specific color depending on the extent of conjugation within the molecule. The pi electron system of the azo group and any conjugated systems attached to it are responsible for the absorption of light in the visible spectrum.
Azoyhdisteet are widely used as dyes and pigments due to their vibrant colors and their ability to
Beyond their use as colorants, some azoyhdisteet have found applications in other fields. For instance, certain
