Cyclic diazenium salts 2 are formed quantitatively upon treatment of compounds 1, containing the NNCNO structural unit, with strong protonic acids. Compounds 2, RMe, ArylPh, are characterized, in particular, by the very long CN bonds and the small angle between the five-membered ring and the phenyl group (only 17°).
