Triphenyl{(E)-4-[4-(phenyldiazenyl)phenyl]-4H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl}boron

Abstract

In the title compound, C32H26BN5 or [(C14H11N5)B(C6H5)3], the B atom is approximately tetrahedrally coordinated. The diazo unit is in a trans conformation, which is generally more stable than a cis one for aromatic azo compounds. The crystal structure features very weak C—H...π interactions. The dihedral angles between the central benzene ring and the terminal rings in the heterocycle are 62.64, 73.54 and 61.60°.
