Azoxybenzene
Azoxybenzene is organic compound with the formula C6H5NNC6H5. It is a yellow, low-melting solid. The molecule has a planar C2N2O core. The N-N and N-O bond lengths are nearly the same at 1.23 Å.Preparation
It can be prepared by partial reduction of nitrobenzene. This reaction is proposed to proceed via the intermediacy of phenylhydroxylamine and nitrosobenzene:
