Hi there
Obviously temperature affects decomposition rates, but maintaining generation and stability of the nitrous acid is key to actually achieving aryl diazonium salt production. Different counterions impart lesser or greater stability of the aryldiazonium salt, to the point where certain counterions, such as tetrafluoroborate or acetate are stable at room temperature, so would be of lesser concern in the reaction.
Thank You
