The title molecule, C36H27N3O9, adopts an almost symmetric conformation in which the mean planes of the phthalimido units are inclined at dihedral angles of 81.1 (1), 85.3 (1) and 86.3 (1)° with respect to the plane of the central aromatic ring. The O atoms are involved in intra- and intermolecular C—HO hydrogen bonding. The crystal structure also features π–π arene interactions [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.683 (2) Å]. The present mode of non-covalent interactions leads to a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
