The title compound, C42H36N4O5·0.25CH3CN, crystallizes with a partial twofold disordered (1/4) acetonitrile solvent of crystallization. The linking atoms to the 3,5-bis(benzyloxy)benzoic acid are disordered between two conformations in the ratio 0.780 (6):0.220 (6). In the crystal, the molecules pack using mainly C—H...N(cyano) interactions coupled with weak C—H...O(ether) interactions and C—H...π interactions. A brief comparison is made between a conventional and this synchrotron data collection.
