Abstract
The title compound, C(30)H(28)N(6)O(2), is a symmetric diimine derived from ortho-dibenzaldehyde. Both C=N bonds are (E)-configured. The terminal N-bonded phenyl groups adopt staggered conformations relative to their respective parent heterocycles, the relevant least-squares planes inter-sect at angles of 32.35 (11) and 38.59 (10)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O contacts connect the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis and give rise to a C(1) (1)(14)C(1) (1)(14) and a R(2) (2)(12) pattern on different levels of graph-set analysis. The shortest inter-centroid distance between two centroids was found at 4.2074 (11) Å between the two five-membered heterocycles.
