N,N′-Bis(2,6-diethylphenyl)acenaphthylene-1,2-diimine

Abstract

The title compound, C32H32N2, has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry, with two C atoms lying on the rotation axis. The dihedral angle between the substituted benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 79.8 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...N interactions, which form a chain motif along the b-axis direction.
