Comment top

Azo compounds are very important in the field of dyes, pigments and advanced materials (Hunger, 2003). It has been known for many years that the azo compounds are the most widely used class of dyes, due to their versatile applications in various fields such as the dyeing of textile fibers, the coloring of different materials, colored plastics and polymers, biological-medical studies and advanced applications in organic syntheses (Catino & Farris, 1985; Zollinger, 2003; Bahatti & Seshadri, 2004; Taniike et al., 1996; Fadda et al., 1994). They are also used in the fields of nonlinear optics and optical data storage (Taniike et al., 1996; Bach et al., 1996; Clark & Hester, 1993). Their optical properties depend on not only the spectroscopic properties of the molecules but also their crystallographic arrangements (Biswas & Umapathy, 2000; Willner & Rubin, 1996).

We report here in the crystal structure of the title compound, obtained through the diazotization of aniline followed by a coupling reaction with 2-naphthol.

The molecule of the title compound, with the atom numbering scheme, is shown in Fig. 1, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c.

The molecular structure of C16 H12 N2 O is illustrated in Fig. 1. The molecule adopts an anti–configuration with the two aryl groups reside on the opposite side of azo–group. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring is 17.85 (8)°. An intramolecular N—H···O hydrogen bond is found (Table 1). It is more interesting, that hydrogen atom in the OH-group has transfer to N atom in the azo-group to form the structure of dipolar ion. Moreover, different Fourier map indicate hydrogen site location is closer to nitrogen atom of azo-group. In the crystal molecules are packed by the weak ππ interactions with the closest approach between centroids of aromatic rings is 3.6486 (11) Å.

Experimental top

The compound was synthesized according to the literature procedure of other aromatic azo-compounds (Wang et al., 2003). Red prism of the compound were obtained by slow evaporation at room temperature from an aqueous solution containing water/THF (1/1, v/v).

Refinement top

N-bound H atom was located in a differece Fourier map and refined with N—H distance constraint of 0.94 Å, other H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in riding mode. Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N,C).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
