Sodium-4- [ (E) - (4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-yl) diazo] benzene sulfonate, which is an organic compound. Its physical properties are as follows:
From the perspective of view, it is often in a solid state, but its specific appearance may vary depending on the purity and preparation method, or it is a crystalline powder or a block shape, white or slightly yellowish in color, uniform in texture.
When it comes to solubility, it can be slightly soluble in water. Because the molecule contains both hydrophilic sulfonate groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, the hydrophobic part of naphthalene groups and benzene rings hinders the dissolution. In organic solvents, its solubility is also limited, only slightly soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Due to the moderate polarity of the molecule, it does not interact strongly with polar organic solvents, and because it contains a large conjugate system, it is difficult to dissolve in non-polar organic solvents.
In terms of melting and boiling point, it has a higher melting point. It is due to the existence of various forces between molecules, such as ionic bonds between sulfonate groups, inter-molecular van der Waals forces and π - π stacking. To destroy these forces to melt the substance requires higher energy. However, the exact melting and boiling point value will fluctuate due to different purity.
In terms of photostability, it is more sensitive to light due to the diazo-based structure. Under light, diazo groups are prone to photolysis reactions, causing molecular structure changes, or color changes, or chemical properties changes, so they need to be protected from light during storage to maintain their stability.
In addition, its density is higher than that of water. Although the exact density data will vary depending on the specific crystal form and purity, the molecule contains benzene rings, naphthalene rings, and other relatively large structural units, resulting in greater unit volume mass than water.
