Popis: From the point of view of crystal structure the ordinary form of azobenzene definitely belongs to the dibenzyl series of structures, which have now been accurately determined (Robertson 1934, 1935; Robertson and Woodward 1937, 1938). This isomorphism is in itself sufficient to decide the trans -configuration of the molecule in the ordinary form of azobenzene; but in the meantime the hitherto unknown cis -form has been isolated by Hartley (1938) and an account of its crystal structure given (Robertson 1939). The present paper summarizes the results of a detailed analysis of the trans -form.
