It contains experimental and computed (quantum mechanics) thermochemical data for a selected set of 1709 *gas-phase* atoms and small molecules. Molecules less than 9 heavy atoms and 20 or fewer total atoms are present. Azobenzene is too large, but aniline is in there, with geometries and energies computed with about 125 model chemistries. Also both E- and Z-azomethane.

Azobenzene is to= o large, but aniline is in there, with geometries and energies computed wit= h about 125 model chemistries. Also both E- and Z-azomethane.

Henry,

Thank for the torsion data in the graphs. Could you provide the color cod= e for the entries in the two graphs?=C2=A0 Info on substituted azobenzenes = is also relevant.

For the moment the issue is=C2=A0 constrained to= computed geometries in vacuum, XRAY, and neutron diffraction structures. <= br>
Best regards,

Could anyone comment on any recent calculated results on the planarity, or = lack thereof, of azobenzene?

Thanks!
