Notes:
The structure of the highly unstable benzyne precursor 2-diazoniobenzenecarboxylate (3) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure is discussed in comparison to ab initio results for several conformers of 3, related aromatic diazonium ions, and phenyl cation and also to crystal structures of simple diazonium ion salts and of benzoates. Structural features and characteristic distortions are related to the electron density distributions and to intra- and intermolecular interactions between the neighboring functional groups.
