title: 2,6-Bis[1-(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phenyl-imino)-eth-yl]pyridine.
abstract: In the title mol-ecule, C27H31N3, the imine C=N groups are orientated anti to the pyridine N atom, with N-C-C-N torsion angles of -164.91 (11) and -170.53 (10)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by weak C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π inter-actions parallel to the b axis.
