title: (E)-N-{(E)-2-[(3,5-Dimethylbiphenyl-4-yl)imino]-acenaphthen-1-yl-idene}-2,6-di-methyl-4-phenyl-aniline.
abstract: The title compound, C(40)H(32)N(2), has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry, with two C atoms lying on the axis. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of the 4-phenyl-2,6-dimethyl-phenyl group is 35.74 (17)°. The acenaphthene ring makes an angle of 76.93 (11)° with the benzene ring bonded to the N atom and an angle of 41.53 (13)° with the other benzene ring.
