The crystal structure of the title compound, C19H16N2O2, displays a trans c
onfiguration of the azo moiety, which forms an intramolecular O-H ... N=N h
ydrogen bond. The H ... N and O ... N distances are 1.81 (3) and 2.581 (4)
Angstrom, respectively. The azobenzene moiety is approximately planar, and
has a dihedral angle of ca 23 degrees with the substituted phenyl group.
