The color, spectra, and magnetic properties of metal-ligand complexes can be explained by modeling the effect of ligands on metal's d orbital energies. Compare with L- . Prefix used to designate a dextrorotatory enantiomer . Compare with levorotatory . Having the property of rotating plane-polarized light clockwise.
Diazonium salts are unstable and explosive in dry form.
They are used to manufacture many different organic compounds, including azo dyes . See also diazotization . Diazotization is a reaction that converts an -NH 2 group connected to a phenyl ring to a diazonium salt. For example, Diazotization reactions are extremely useful in organic synthesis. It is toxic but much less so than chloroform or carbon tetrachloride, which were previously used for this purpose.
