Structure of 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazoles, possible bases for new conductive polymers

Crystal and molecular structures of two new 3,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazoles show that an appreciable degree of electron delocalization is present in the combined two phenyl-triazole ring systems. Phenyl-ring twisting relative to the triazole rings is provoked by steric effects of side groups of the triazole rings.
