N2 - The structures of two 1:1 proton-transfer red-black dye compounds formed by reaction of aniline yellow [4-(phenyl-diazenyl)aniline] with 5-sulfosalicylic acid and benzene-sulfonic acid, and a 1:2 nontransfer adduct compound with 3,5-dinitro-benzoic acid have been determined at either 130 or 200 K. The compounds are 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenylhydra-zin-1-ium 3-carboxy-4- hydroxybenzenesulfonate methanol solvate, C12H12N3+·C7H5O6S-·CH3OH, (I), 2-(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenylhydrazin-1- ium 4-(phenyldiazenyl)anilinium bis(benzenesulfonate), 2C12H12N3+·2C6H5O3S-, (II), and 4-(phenyl-diazenyl)aniline-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (1/2), C12H11N3·2C7H4N2O6, (III). In compound (I), the diazenyl rather than the aniline group of aniline yellow is protonated, and this group subsequently takes part in a primary hydrogen-bonding inter-action with a sulfonate O-atom acceptor, producing overall a three-dimensional framework structure. A feature of the hydrogen bonding in (I) is a peripheral edge-on cation-anion association also involving aromatic C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds, giving a conjoint R12(6)R12(7)R21(4) motif. In the dichroic crystals of (II), one of the two aniline yellow species in the asymmetric unit is diazenyl-group protonated, while in the other the aniline group is protonated. Both of these groups form hydrogen bonds with sulfonate O-atom acceptors and these, together with other associations, give a one-dimensional chain structure. In compound (III), rather than proton transfer, there is preferential formation of a classic R22(8) cyclic head-to-head hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid homodimer between the two 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid molecules, which, in association with the aniline yellow molecule that is disordered across a crystallographic inversion centre, results in an overall two-dimensional ribbon structure. This work has shown the correlation between structure and observed colour in crystalline aniline yellow compounds, illustrated graphically in the dichroic benzenesulfonate compound.
