Abstract: The title compound, C₂₀H₁₀F₂N₂O₂, was synthesized from hydroquinone and 3,4-difluorobenzonitrile. The centroid of the central aromatic ring is on a crystallographic center of inversion. The dihedral angle between the central and terminal rings is 77.8 (3)°. In the crystal, chains linked by C-HN bond occur.
