1,4‐Diphenyl‐1,4‐di‐4‐pyridyl‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene: weak C—H·N and C—H·π hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, C₂₄H₁₈N₄, each Schiff base molecule is centrosymmetric and interacts with four neighbours via four C—H(Ph)·N(py) hydrogen bonds (py is pyridyl) and four C—H(py)·π(Ph) hydrogen bonds, leading to an interesting two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded layer architecture.
