2,6-Diacetylpyridinebis(p-methoxyaniline), a Terdentate NNN Donor Ligand

The title compound, C₂₃H₂₃N₃O₂, is a terdentate NNN donor ligand. The molecule lies about a crystallographic mirror plane which passes through a C and an N atom of the substituted pyridine ring. The orientation of the exocyclic N atoms in the solid is not what is required for complex formation with metal centres.
