In the zwitterionic title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system is 2.0 (1)°. The azo group adopts a trans configuration and an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond is found. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are packed by strong π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance between aromatic rings = 3.375 (3) Å].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C(20)H(26)N(2)O(3)·H(2)O, contains two independent mol-ecules and one water mol-ecule. The azo bonds adopt trans conformations and the dihedral angles between the aromatic rings in the two organic mol-ecules are 4.5 (2) and 1.5 (2)°. In the crystal structure, O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing.

A bacterial strain (strain S5) which grows aerobically with the sulfonated azo compound 4-carboxy-4'-sulfoazobenzene as the sole source of carbon and energy was isolated. This strain was obtained by continuous adaptation of "Hydrogenophaga palleronii" S1, which has the ability to grow aerobically with 4-aminobenzenesulfonate. Strain S5 probably cleaves 4-carboxy-4'-sulfoazobenzene reductively u...

In the title compound, C(17)H(14)N(2)O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and naphthalene ring system is 11.0 (3)°. The azo group adopts an anti configuration and an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond exists. Mol-ecules are packed by π-π inter-actions between adjacent mol-ecule (closest approach between centroids of benzene and naphthalene rings of 3.501 Å).

The title compound (C. I. Solvent Yellow 8), C(16)H(12)N(2)O, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The planarity of both mol-ecules is slightly distorted, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the naphthalene system being 9.04 (8) and 5.69 (3)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between the hydr-oxy groups and azo N atoms link t...

Herein we report the molecular structures and electronic properties of ionic, hydrophobic, half-sandwich complexes of the formula [η(5)-Cp*Rh(L)(MeOH)] (1) and [η(6)-CyRu(L)(H2O)] (2), where L is azo-dye compound of (p-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)benzenesulfonic acid sodium salt). Both these complexes have been investigated electrochemically and found to display good electronic properties for use ...

The title compound, meso-1,2-bis(methyldiazenyl)-1,2-diphenylethane, C16H18N4, is arranged in a disordered manner around an inversion point. The N-N atom distances in the azo group of 1.192 (8) and 1.195 (8) A, and the C-C atom distances in the ethylene moiety at 1.512 (8) and 1.503 (8) A in the two models [refined to 51.7 (6) and 48.3 (6)% occupancies] were not significantly different.

In the title compound, C(20)H(29)N(5)O(4), the pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 10.41 (16)° with the triazole ring, which exhibits an azo-like character. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and C-H⋯π inter-actions involving a methyl group and the pyridine ring of a neighbouring mol-ecule, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network.

Major part of the aesthetics and beauty idols, textiles, paper, paintings industries, etc. finds its roots in use colours (azo compound). These synthetic dyes can not degrade easily by physical chemical means are toxic for environment animals including humans. Even if they get degraded, it becomes difficult to rid secondary products. Microbes especially bacteria be used which results cheap, eco...

The laser-initiated thermal (optothermal) switching of cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) is characterized by using different azobenzene (Azo) derivatives and laser wavelengths. Under 405-nm laser irradiation, Azo-doped CLCs undergo phase transition from cholesteric to isotropic. No cis-to-trans photoisomerization occurs when the 405-nm laser irradiation is blocked because only a single laser i...
