title: 6,6'-Dimeth-oxy-2,2'-{[(E,E)-hydrazine-1,2-diyl-idene]bis-(methanylyl-idene)}diphenol methanol disolvate.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(4)·2CH(3)OH, is a hydrazone in an E geometric arrangement, with an inversion centre at the mid-point of the N-N bond. A symmetry-related pair of six-membered hydrogen-bonded rings [graph-set motif S(1) (1)(6)] are present for the terminal vanillin-imine moieties. Two lattice methanol solvent mol-ecules are present per formula unit (Z' = 1/2), which form hydrogen-bonded chains along [010] with two orientations due to disorder of the methanol H-atom.
