2,2′-[(Butane-1,4-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dinaphthalene

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 273 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 Å; R factor = 0.046; wR factor = 0.120; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.7.The title complex, C 26 H 24 N 2 O 2 , was synthesized by the reaction of 1-naphthaldehyde with 1,4-bis(aminooxy)butane in ethanol. The molecule has crystallographic inversion symmetry. The intermolecular distance between the nearest naphthalene rings is 3.141 (2) Å , indicating a strong intermolecularstacking interaction.
