A benzene ring with a diazo group (-N≡N⁺) attached to it, representing a key diazo compound used in organic synthesis.
From 'diazo-' combined with 'benzene' (the six-carbon aromatic ring). Named systematically in 19th-century organic chemistry.
Diazobenzenes are workhorses of synthetic chemistry—their diazo group is incredibly reactive and can be swapped for almost any other group, making them like versatile chemical adapters.
