Cover illustration: Bright-yellow single crystals of 4-bromo-N,N′-diphenylbenzimidamide N′-oxide, C19H15BrN2O, were synthesized as part of a project that explores the formation of earth-abundant transition-metal complexes of amidine oxides (AMOXs), to study their photophysical and redox properties. The HNCNO moiety of the compound shows double-bond delocalization over the N—C—N part, evident from the similar C—N bond distances. The extended structure features cyclic dimers linked by pairs of N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. See: Saha, Chartrand, Cibian, Maris & Hanan [IUCrData (2024). 8, x240968].
