1,6-Bis[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)­oxy]hexa­ne

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₃₆H₃₂N₆O₂, lies about an inversion center, located at the mid-point of the central C—C bond of the diether bridge. The terminal pyridine rings form dihedral angles of 4.67 (7) and 26.23 (7)° with the central ring. In the crystal, weak C—H...N and C—H...O inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

1,2-Bis[(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)­oxy]ethane

The title compound, C₃₂H₂₄N₆O₂, has an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C—C bond of the diether bridging unit. The terminal pyridine rings are canted relative to the central pyridine ring, with dihedral angles of 12.98 (6) and 26.80 (6)°. The maximum deviation from the eight-atom mean plane, defined by the two bridging O and C atoms and the central pyridine ring, is 0.0383 (10)° for the N atom.
