The basicities of 16 substituted azoxybenzenes have been measured by U.V. spectrophotometric method. The effects of substituents on the basicities are discussed in terms of Hammett's equation. The reaction constants, ${\rho}^X_Y$ and ${\rho}^Y_X$ , in a modified equation, log $K_{XY}/K_{\infty}={\sigma}_X{\rho}^Y_X+{\sigma}_Y{\rho}^X_Y$, are $2.46{\pm}0.12$ and $2.25{\pm}0.26$ respectively. The validity of the equation is analysed by a statistical method, and the structure of the conjugate acid of the substituted azoxybenzenes is proposed.
