Abstract: The title compound, C₃₄H₁₆N₄O₄, is a perylene-imide pigment utilized for H₂ gas sensors. The molecule has C_i symmetry with one half-molecule in the asymmetric unit. The angle between each of the pyridyl rings and the perylene-imide skeleton is 54.88 (10)°. The molecules are stacked in a `hunter's fence' fashion (viz. when viewed from the side, molecules, slipped by 45° within molecular stacks, cross each other in a fence-like structure) along the b axis.
