(E)-5-[(2-Fluorophenyl)Diazenyl]-2-Hydroxy-3-Methoxybenzaldehyde

Abstract

The title compound, C<inf>14</inf>H<inf>11</inf>FN<inf>2</inf>O <inf>3</inf>, displays the characteristic features of azobenzene derivatives. Intramolecular O-H·O and weak π-π interactions influence the conformation of the molecules and the crystal packing. The azobenzene moiety of the molecule has a trans configuration and the dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 10.13 (8)°. © 2005 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
