A centrosymmetric monoclinic polymorph of N,N-bis-(pyridin-3-yl-methyl-idene)benzene-1,4-diamine.

ABSTRACT: The complete molecule of the title compound, C(18)H(14)N(4), is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the pyridine ring is 31.88 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are stacked in columns along the c axis and several inter-molecular π-π inter-actions are present between the six-membered rings, the shortest centroid-centroid distance being 3.937 (2) Å. The structure reported herein represents a centrosymmetric polymorph of the previously reported non-centrosymmetric (P2(1)) form [Kim et al. (2005 ▶). Bull. Korean Chem. Soc.26, 892-898].
