5,5′-Dimethoxy-2,2′-[(nonane-1,9-diyldioxy)bis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol

Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C25H34N2O6, adopts a fully extended configuration. The oxime (—CH=N—O—) group is coplanar with the aromatic ring and the two benzene rings are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 0.16 (3)°. In the crystal structure, strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate six-membered S(6) ring motifs. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link each mol­ecule to five others, forming an infinite three-dimensional supra­molecular structure. The crystal is further stabilized by π–π stacking inter­actions between neighbouring benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.744 (2) Å].
