Abstract: The electrochemical reduction of four azo dyes in acid media were studied.All of the electro-reductions of azo groups are irreversible one-step and four-electron reductions.The ortho and para electron-withdrawing substituents(e.g.-COOBu-R) made the azo groups be reduced more easily than meta one.The azo group is prior to nitro group to be reduced in the media when a dye contains both of them.
