i need Diazonium analog of p-Phenylenediamine but i don't have NaNO2 and my HCl is have Iron impurity.cant get hold of either but have Con.HNO3 so i
can make NO2 by reacting with Cu. i know Nitrogen dioxide disproportionates into nitric acid and nitrous acid in cold aqueous solution. 2NO2 + H2O
→ HNO3 + HNO2
since i'm gonna need cold condition anyway, whould this work?
ArNH2 +2NO2----->{ArN2+](NO3)- +H2O
thinking of making NO2 and store it in a balloon and slowly reacting with cold OC p-Phenylenediamine while stir the solution.
the end product is explosion hazard if brought to room temperature

I think it might work, but I think this is just way too complicated and dangerous. If you have concentrated nitric acid, react it with sodium
hydroxide or bicarbonate/carbonate to obtain sodium nitrate. Then heat the sodium nitrate in activated carbon with calcium hydroxide to yield sodium
nitrite. https://patents.google.com/patent/US792515
As for the HCl, I don't think it really makes a big difference for this reaction. But if you're still worried you could try the two-container
technique to purify it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv1Ms6Subg4

The fact that you are even considering this suggests that you do not have nearly enough respect for the incredibly unstable and explosive salt
benzene-1,4-bis-diazonium.
The nitrate does not appear to have been reported, probably because nobody is that stupid. The salt is typically obtained as the hexafluorophosphate
or the tetrafluoroborate. In any case, nitrous acid is not sufficient to prepare this monster of a salt; nitrosonium salts are preferred. See:

as long as Diazonium ion stays in the solution it doesn't care about what anion it gonna have when it crystallize. so stable enough to do some
chemistry with it.
