Solution Studies and Crystal Structure of 1,3-bis[2-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyl]triaz-1-ene

Abstract

The crystal structure of 1,3-bis[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]triaz-1-ene is monoclinic, space group cc with a = 15.154(3), b = 4.7713(10), c = 19.054(4) Å, β = 103.235(7)° and Z = 4. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least squares to final values of R1 = 0.0439 and wR2 = 0.1209 with 1670 reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The 1,3-bis[2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]triaz-1-ene is involved in weak C–H···F hydrogen bonding and F···F interactions. The results of studies of the stoichiometry and formation of complexes of 1,3-bis[2- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]triaz-1-ene with metal ions in the acetonitrile solution were found that mole ratio is 1.
