X-Ray Diffraction Study of Crystal and Molecular Structures of Azo Compounds of Two β-Diketones

Abstract

Novel compounds 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl) hydrazono)-1,3-diphenyl propane-1,3-dione and 2-(2-(2-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl) hydrazono)-1-phenyl butane-1,3-dione are prepared on the base of β-diketones. Crystal and molecular structures of synthesized compounds are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are found to be monoclinic. The compounds are represented only by their hydrazo forms. The structural data for the two obtained compounds are compared with previously reported data.
