%X The crystal and molecular structures of the title compound, C12F10N2.C18H22H2,are reported. The crystal structure is comprised of stacks of alternate decafluoroazobenzene and azomesitylene molecules with the vertical separation between successive molecules being approximately 3.42 Å . The stacks are aligned so that the azobenzene molecules of one stack are adjacent to the azomesitylene molecules of the neighbouring stacks; there are no significant intercolumn contacts. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n with unit cell dimensions a 7.197(2), b 15.432(3), c 12.513(3) Å , &#946; 96.33(2)º , and Z 2. The structure was refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to final R 0.059 for 915 reflections for which 1 &#8805; 3.O &#963;(I).
