4-[(2-Chloro-4-nitrophenyl)diazenyl]phenol dimethylformamide solvate

X.-L. You, Y. Zhang, Y. Zhang and D.-C. Zhang

Abstract: The principal molecule of the title molecule, C₁₂H₈ClN₃O₃·C₃H₇NO, is essentially planar. The two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of only 6.9  (1)°. The nitro group is slightly twisted with respect to the benzene ring to which it is attached [3.7  (1)°]. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule and the azobenzene molecule are linked through a strong O-HO hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, the molecules are stacked through - interactions along [010]. Some weak C-HO interactions stabilize the packing.
