Abstract: The title compound, C₂₂H₁₄N₄O₄, exists as a monomeric molecule in which the pyridyl rings are approximately perpendicular to the pyromellitic diimide portion [dihedral angles 83.7 (1) and 85.3 (1)°]. Adjacent molecules are linked by two C-HO interactions into a linear chain parallel to the b axis.
