1,1′-[(Hexane-1,6-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dinaphthalene

Abstract

The title compound, C28H28N2O2, was synthesized by condensation of 1-naphthaldehyde with 1,6-bis­(amino­oxy)hexane in ethanol. The mol­ecule is disposed about a crystallographic centre of symmetry. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked through strong inter­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions [interplana distance = 2.986 (2) Å], forming a three-dimensional network.

1,3-Bis[(4-methylbenzylidene)aminooxy]propane

“…Much interest has been focused on bisoxime compounds, in which the large electronegativity of O atoms is expected to affect strongly the electronic properties of the nitrogen atoms, and exhibit high stability against imine metathesis reactions ( Akine et al, 2005). Some of them or their metal complexes are used in wide field due to their variety of applications, especially for catalysis and biological processes, magnetism, and supramolecular architectures (Atwood et al, 2001;Yeap et al, 2008;Dong et al, 2008). Herein, the synthesis and structure of 4,4′-dimethyl-1,3-[propenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dibenzene (I) is reported ( Fig.…”
