The title compound [systematic name: (E)-2-hydroxy-5-(phenyldiazenyl)cyclohepta-2,4,6-trien-1-one], C13H10N2O2, is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.036 (2) Å and a dihedral angle of 1.57 (8)° between the phenyl and tropolone rings. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimers are further connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.6934 (9) and 3.6282 (9) Å.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
