An azo derivative of 1H-pyrazole has been chosen to study the information obtained from different techniques for determining the structure of a non-crystalline compound in the solid-state and in solution. Syn-anti isomerism of the azo group, prototropic tautomerism of the 1H-pyrazole and rotation about the pyrazole-azo group resulted in 20 structures that were analyzed. Energy calculations, C-13 and N-15 chemical shifts, H-1-H-1 coupling constants and electronic spectra reduced the 20 possible structures to only one, the 3,3'-Z,Z-anti-azopyrazole.
