1,2-Bis[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)oxy]ethane

Abstract

The title compound, C32H24N6O2, has an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C—C bond of the diether bridging unit. The terminal pyridine rings are canted relative to the central pyridine ring, with dihedral angles of 12.98 (6) and 26.80 (6)°. The maximum deviation from the eight-atom mean plane, defined by the two bridging O and C atoms and the central pyridine ring, is 0.0383 (10)° for the N atom.
