title: (E)-1-(4-Meth-oxy-anthracen-1-yl)-2-phenyl-diazene.
abstract: The title compound, C(21)H(16)N(2)O, has an E-conformation about the diazene N=N bond. It is reasonably planar with the phenyl ring being inclined to the mean plane of the anthracene moiety [planar to within 0.077 (3) Å] by 6.43 (10)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π and weak π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.7192 (16) and 3.8382 (15) Å], leading to the formation of two-dimensional networks stacking along [001] and lying parallel to (110).
