An organic compound containing an azo group (N=N) bonded directly to a phenol or phenyl ring, used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments.
From 'azo-' (N=N) + 'phen' (short for phenyl or phenolic, from benzene). Created through organic synthesis combining azo chemistry with aromatic ring chemistry.
When chemists attach azo bonds directly to phenol rings, magic happens—azophen compounds become intensely colored and stable, making them ideal for manufacturing the vivid dyes used in clothing and paints.
