p-Diethylaminobenzenediazonium hexafluorophosphate, C10H14N3+•PF6−, crystallized in space group [Formula: see text] with a = 12.105(4), b = 12.340(5), c = 10.439(4) Å, α = 96.53(3), β = 104.11(3), γ = 64.44(3)°, and Z = 4. The structure was solved using direct methods and refined with full-matrix least-squares techniques on F, to a final R of 0.054 for 1917 reflections with F2 > 3σ(F2). The mean bond lengths for the diazo group are: N—N 1.096(6); C—N 1.357(7) Å. The geometry of the molecule is discussed in terms of the possible resonance forms and it is shown to be consistent with a form in which the N—N triple bond is essentially intact and the aminobenzene moiety has "quinoidal" character.
