title: N,N'-(Methyl-enedi-p-phenyl-ene)dibenzamide.
abstract: The title compound, C(27)H(22)N(2)O(2), consists of two chemically equivalent halves. However, it displays no crystallographic symmetry, only an approximate local twofold symmetry (r.m.s. deviation = 0.15 Å between the two halves of the molecule) is observed. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by two anti-parallel classical N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming broad chains parallel to (10). A series of weak C-H⋯N/O hydrogen bonds is also present.
