1,6-Bis[(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)-oxy]hexa-ne.
The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(36)H(32)N(6)O(2), lies about an inversion center, located at the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the diether bridge. The terminal pyridine rings form dihedral angles of 4.67 (7) and 26.23 (7)° with the central ring. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.
