Crystal structure of n-ρ-methoxybenzylidene-ρ-phenylazoaniline

Abstract

The crystal structure of n-p-methoxybenzylidene-p-phenylazo- aniline, a nematogenic compound of positive dielectric anisotropy has been determined by x-ray diffraction methods using single crystals. It is established that the nearest neighbours are oriented antiparallel with respect to each other.
