Conclusion

The structure of the azo dye compound C15H14N2O2 is stabilized by hydrogen bonds and exhibits a trans configuration.

Supporting Evidence

  • The compound exhibits a trans configuration with a dihedral angle of 5.06° between the aromatic rings.
  • Strong intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the molecular conformation.
  • Inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.

Takeaway

This study looks at a special dye made from two connected rings, showing how they stick together and their shape.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized and its crystal structure was analyzed using X-ray diffraction.

Limitations

The data completeness was slightly over 31% due to partially overlapped reflections.
