X. Lü, C. Su, B. Kang and S. W. Ng

Abstract: N,N'-Bis(2-pyridylethyl)pyromellitic diimide, C₂₄H₁₈N₄O₄, exists as a centrosymmetric monomeric molecule. Adjacent molecules are linked by weak C-HO and C-HN interactions into a linear ribbon-like structure. The C_pyridyl-C $_{\rm methylene}$ -C $_{\rm methylene}$ -N_imido fragment is in an anti conformation [torsion angle = 168.3 (2)°].
