In the title compound, C30H24N4, the central benzoquinonediimine moiety is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.044 (14) Å. The four terminal phenyl rings are twisted by 44.95 (11), 54.90 (10), 44.98 (10) and 50.68 (11)° with respect to the mean plane the benzoquinonediimine unit. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—Hπ interactions into supramolecular chains running along the b-axis direction.
