Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a 1,3-Bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene Hydrogen-Bonded Compound

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, 1,3-bis(2-cyanophenyl)triazene, shows a dimmer formation between two molecules of L through intermolecular hydrogen bonds D-H…(A1, A1′). The directions of the aromatic rings indicate the presence of strong face-to-face π-π stacking interactions and intermolecular C-H…N hydrogen bonds. These interactions extend the two-dimensional chains further into a three-dimensional network.
