title: 1,4-Bis(4-pyridylmeth-oxy)benzene.
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2), lies about a center of inversion. The central phenyl-ene ring is aligned at 62.7 (1)° with respect to the pyridyl ring. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into sheets parallel to (104). C-H⋯O inter-actions are also present.
