Syntheses of 3,3'-dinitro-2,2'-azobipyridine and 4,4' (or 5,5' or 6,6')-dimethyl-3,3'-dinitro-2,2'-azobipyridine have been described. Molecular structures of these compounds have been determined and compared, to the basic compound, azobipyridine, reported by us earlier. The conformation of the azo-bond and other structural data are discussed in terms of substitution place of methyl chromophore. Fourier transform IR and Raman spectra of these compounds have been measured and analysed. The 6-311G (2d,2p) basis set with the B3LYP functional have been used to discuss the space conformation and dynamics of the studied compounds. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
