title: (Pyridine-2,6-diyldimethyl-ene)bis-(diphenyl-methanol).
abstract: In the title compound, C(33)H(29)NO(2), the central pyridyl ring makes dihedral angles of 42.71 (16), 44.78 (16), 85.47 (12) and 76.74 (12)° with the four phenyl rings. There are two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a chain running along the b axis by a weak C-H⋯π inter-action.
