43. EDA is insufficient to establish structural relationships with certainty.
44. The crystallization problem is exacerbated by the grossly dissimilar solubilities of the components, such as the hydrophilic diazonium salt in strong contrast to hydrophobic (uncharged) aromatic donor.
45. + allowed their ready resolution from those of ArH, sufficient to clearly establish the molecular ratios extant in the crystalline EDA complexes.
46. For the exception, see the CT crystal of p-xylene/p-carbethoxybenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate in which crystallization in the presence of excess p-xylene led to the 2A·D complex, whereas crystallization with a tenfold excess of diazonium salt led to the 4A·D stoichiometry.
47. Crystalline complexes were not observed with this acceptor and either benzene or mesitylene. For the crystallographic explanation of the phenomenon, see Lindeman, S. V. in ref 45b.
48. m-Nitrobenzenediazonium also formed crystalline complexes with p-dimethoxybenzene, but they were not analyzed further.

67. Otherwise, the X-ray crystallography does not distinguish the donor-acceptor interactions extant in the carbethoxybenzenediazonium EDA complexes from those involving the strongest acceptor (i.e., the 3,5-dinitro analogue). However, we note that the aromatic donors are crystallographically disordered in the carbethoxydiazonium crystals whereas they are essentially not disordered in the dinitrodiazonium crystals. The latter suggests that the intermolecular forces are stronger in the CT crystals of the stronger acceptor.
