Determination of the absolute stereostructure of a cyclic azobenzene from the crystal structure of the precursor containing a heavy element

Single crystal X-ray diffraction has been used as one of the common methods for the unambiguous determination of the absolute stereostructure of chiral molecules. However, this method is limited to molecules containing heavy atoms or to molecules with the possibility of functionalization with heavy...
