title: 1,4-Dihex-yloxy-2,5-bis-(2-nitro-phen-yl)benzene.
abstract: The title compound, C(30)H(36)N(2)O(6), was prepared via twofold Suzuki coupling of a diboronic acid with bromo-nitro-benzene. The mol-ecule is located on a crystallographic inversion centre. The lateral benzene ring and the central ring make a dihedral angle of 48.75 (14)° and the nitro group is twisted by 41.47 (13)° out of the plane of the benzene ring. The nitro and hex-yloxy groups are in close proximity and the hex-yloxy chain adopts an all-anti conformation.
