1,4-Dihexyloxy-2,5-bis(2-nitrophenyl)benzene

Abstract

The title compound, C30H36N2O6, was preparedviatwofold Suzuki coupling of a diboronic acid with bromonitrobenzene. The molecule is located on a crystallographic inversion centre. The lateral benzene ring and the central ring make a dihedral angle of 48.75 (14)° and the nitro group is twisted by 41.47 (13)° out of the plane of the benzene ring. The nitro and hexyloxy groups are in close proximity and the hexyloxy chain adopts an all-anticonformation.
