1,2-Bis[(2,2':6',2''-terpyridin-4'-yl)-oxy]ethane.
The title compound, C(32)H(24)N(6)O(2), has an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the diether bridging unit. The terminal pyridine rings are canted relative to the central pyridine ring, with dihedral angles of 12.98 (6) and 26.80 (6)°. The maximum deviation from the eight-atom mean plane, defined by the two bridging O and C atoms and the central pyridine ring, is 0.0383 (10)° for the N atom.
