Abstract

The title Schiff base compound, C(32)H(22)N(4)O, was prepared by a reaction of 4,4'-diamino-diphenyl ether and 2-quinoline-carboxaldehyde. The mol-ecule consists of two 4-{N-[(E)-quinolin-2-yl-methyl-idene]amino}-phenyl units linked by an oxygen bridge. The dihedral angles between two benzene rings and between the two quinoline ring systems are 53.81 (7) and 42.56 (4)°, respectively. Inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
