Benzotriazole, benzothiadiazole, and benzoxadiazole are heterocyclic aromatic compounds. Benzotriazole is an extremely weak base that forms complexes with metals. It can be synthesized by cyclocondensation of o-phenylenediamines with sodium nitrite. Benzothiadiazole has applications in organic solar cells, OLED technology, and biology. It can be synthesized by cyclocondensation and chlorination reactions. Benzoxadiazole is more electronegative than benzothiadiazole due to the presence of oxygen. It has potential applications as dyes for keratin fibers.
