1,4-Bis{(+)-(S)-[1-(1-naphth-yl)eth-yl]imino-meth-yl}benzene.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, C(32)H(28)N(2), is a chiral bis-imine in which both imine groups display the common E configuration. The naphthyl groups present different orientations with respect to the central core, as reflected in the dihedral angles of 21.4 (2) and 78.83 (14)° between the benzene and naphthyl mean planes, thus the highest possible C(2) local molecular symmetry is not attained. This C(1) mol-ecular conformation allows multiple C-H⋯π inter-molecular contacts involving all aromatic rings, while no π-π inter-actions are available for the stabilization of the crystal structure. The resulting packing structure is based on mol-ecules stacked along [100].
