4,4'-Bis(4-iodophenylaminomethyl)azoxybenzene: hydrogen-bonded sheets built from C--H.O and C--H...pi(arene) hydrogen bonds.
Borohydride reduction of N-(4-nitrobenzylidene)-4-iodoaniline has yielded the title compound, 1,2-bis[4-(4-iodophenylaminomethyl)phenyl]diazene 1-oxide, C(26)H(22)I(2)N(4)O. The molecules lie across centres of inversion in P2(1)/c, with the azoxy O atom disordered over two sites, each having an occupancy of 0.5. The molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of C-H.O and C-H.pi(arene) hydrogen bonds.
