Crystal structure of diethyl 3,3′-{2,2′-(1 E)-[1,4-phenylenebis(azan-1-yl-1-yl-idene)]bis(methan-1-yl-1-ylidene) bis(1 H-pyrrole-2,1-diyl)}dipropanoate

Abstract

The complete molecule of the title compound, C26H30N4O4, is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The dihedral angle between the planes of the benzene and pyrrole rings is 45.20 (11)°; the N atom bonded to the the benzene ring and the pyrrole N atom are in a syn conformation. The side chain adopts an extended conformation [N - C - C - C = 169.07 (17)° and C - O - C - C = - 176.54 (17)°]. No directional interactions could be identified in the crystal packing.
