Abstract
The first in situ diffraction study of the long-known solid-state rearrangement of p-bromobenzeneazotribenzoylmethane
is reported. This proof-of-principle study demonstrates how modern laboratory
X-ray powder diffraction, accompanied by up-to-date processing tools, can be used to monitor and
describe mechanisms of organic solid-state reactions while it also underpins its necessity for structural
characterisation of in situ formed crystalline phases. (doi: 10.5562/cca2127)
