The electronic absorption spectrum of each of nineteen AAQ dyes has been studied in nine different organic solvents. The acid dissociation constants of dyes containing OH, COOH, or SO3H groups have also been determined experimentally. The spectra in ethanol display five bands in the uv region and one in the visible region (450–560 nm). This band is assigned to CT transitions of the type l–aπ which result from the interaction of the lone pair of the nitrogen atom with the phenyl ring of the carbonyl group. The CT nature of the band was supported theoretically and by the effect of solvent on band position.

Polarographic reduction of two series of benzoylacetanilides has been investigated in 40% (by volume) ethanolic Britton–Robinson buffers. One series (A) contains substituents on the anilide moiety, and the second (B) has substituents on both the anilide and benzoyl moieties. Polarographic controlled-potential electrolysis data indicate that the electroactive species in both series is the protonated form (ArCOCH2CONHAr′)H+. The reduction half-wave potentials of anilides of series A were found to be independent of the nature of the substituent, whereas those of series B show a good linear relationship when plotted vs. the σ substituent constant of the substituent on the benzoyl moiety (ρ = 0.284, r = 0.995). Values of the acid dissociation constants of the keto (K1) and enol (K2) tautomers of the anilides of series A were calculated; unlike their E1/2 values, the pK1 data show a linear correlation with the Hammett substituent constant, σ. The pK2 values show, however, little variation with σ.
