Abstract
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.
