%X Substituent effects on the rates of ionization (kIS), decomposition (kD) and syn-anti interconversion (kp) for a number of syn-arylazo ethyl ethers have been measured. The rates of ionization and syn-anti interconversion correlate well with sigma while the rates of decomposition correlate with &#963;+. Substituent effects on the ionization of the syn-ethers are compared to those for ionization of the anti-ethers. Substituent effects on the rate of syn-anti interconversion support the proposed ionization-recombination mechanism.
