Abstract
Tautomerism in a series of monoazopigments based on 1-phenylazo-2-oxy-3-phenylcarbamoylnaphthalene was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The ratio of integral intensities of 01s photoelectron peaks from oxygen atoms occurring in different states in the molecule showed the presence of two tautomeric forms, namely, azo and. quinonehydrazone isomers, and allowed the calculation of their relative contents. Contributions from the two tautomeric forms were directly affected by the nature of substituents.
