Abstract
The chemical preparation and crystal structure for a
4,4'-azodi(phenylcyanamide) salt) in the solid state are reported. This
compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (1) over bar with
the following unit cell parameters: a = 9.759(3) angstrom, b = 11.237(4)
angstrom, c = 11.919(4) angstrom, alpha = 95.54(3)degrees, beta =
98.50(3)degrees, gamma = 109.39(2)degrees, Z = 1 and V = 1204.4(7)
angstrom(3). The 4,4'-azodi(phenylcyanamide) dianion, azodicyd(2-), is
approximately planar, with the cyanamide groups (-N=C=N) in an anti
conformation relative to each other and the azo group (-N=N-) adopting
the more thermodynamically stable trans conformation. The crystal X-ray
analysis shows that there are one azo molecule cation, two
tetrabutylammonium cations and one water molecule in unit cell.
Intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds may
be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure of this
compound and to form linear chain structure in the packing.
