Summary
The crystal structure of C14H14N2O reveals a nearly planar molecule with a trans configuration around the azo double bond. Molecules form infinite chains via hydrogen bonds and close contacts in the solid state.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Solid-state chemistry
- Organic chemistry
Background:
- Diazene derivatives exhibit diverse solid-state structures.
- Understanding intermolecular interactions is key to predicting crystal packing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the crystal structure of C14H14N2O.
- To elucidate the intermolecular interactions and packing in the solid state.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 293 K.
Main Results:
- The molecule C14H14N2O is approximately planar.
- A trans configuration of aromatic rings across the azo double bond was observed.
- Polymeric chains parallel to the b axis were formed through O-H...N and C-H...O hydrogen bonds and close contacts.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure of C14H14N2O is characterized by a planar conformation and trans diazene configuration.
- Intermolecular hydrogen bonding and close contacts dictate the formation of infinite polymeric chains in the solid state.
