14. To maximize the solubility of the starting amines, a mixture of sulfolane with only 10-25% acetonitrile was used for their dissolution, while the nitrosonium tetrafluoroborate was suspended in a lower freezing mixture of sulfolane with 75-90% acetonitrile.

17. CAUTION! All dry diazonium salts reported in this study displayed considerable DSC exotherms above 100-120°C and should be handled as potentially explosive materials. Oligo(phenylene ethynylene)diazonium tetrafluoroborates are moderately light sensitive and should be stored in a freezer in the dark to avoid decomposition.
