An azo compound where two phenyl groups (benzene rings) are connected by an azo linkage (nitrogen-nitrogen bond).
From 'azo-' (N=N) combined with 'diphenyl' (two phenyl groups). This is essentially azobenzene, structured as two phenyl rings joined by the azo functional group.
Azodiphenyl is chemically identical to azobenzene but the name emphasizes how the molecule is built—two phenyl groups connected by an azo bridge—showing how chemists think about molecular construction like building with Lego blocks.
