1-[(E)-2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-diazenyl]-3-({3-[(E)-2-(4-bromophenyl)-1-diazenyl]-6-ethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl}methyl)-4-ethylhexahydropyrimidine (1) has been synthesized by reaction of a mixture of formaldehyde and 1,3-pentanediamine{DYTEK^®EPdiamine} with p-bromobenzenediazonium chloride. This compound crystallizes in two polymorphic forms 1-α and 1-β whose crystal structures have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both polymorphs 1-α and 1-β display crystallographic disorder within the hexahydropyrimidine rings. The molecule of 1 is built up of two equivalent 3-(aryldiazenyl)-6-ethylhexahydro-1-pyrimidinyl groups in the s-trans orientation around the central methylene group (C13). In both structures the triazene moieties adopt the anti configuration around the N=N bonds, displaying significant π-conjugation. The crystal packings are determined only by van der Waals interactions. The crystal structures of 1-α and 1-β are compared with the previously reported structure of the 5,5-dimethylhexahydropyrimidine analogue 3. Compounds 1 and 3 are isomeric with respect to the hexahydropyrimidine moiety. The structures of 1 and 3 are very different in one respect; in 1 the aryldiazenyl-hexahydropyrimidinyl groups are in the s-trans orientation around the central methylene group, whereas in 3 the arrangement of the aryldiazenylhexahydropyrimidinyl groups is the s-cis orientation.
