2,2′-[1,1′-(Octane-1,8-diyldioxydinitrilo)diethylidyne]diphenol

Abstract

The title compound, C24H32N2O4, has a crystallographic inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. At each end of the molecule, intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds generate six-membered S(6) ring motifs. The crystal structure is stabilized by pairs of weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds that link neighbouring molecules into R22(40) ring motifs, which in turn form infinite one-dimensional supramolecular ribbon structures.
