4'-(2-Meth-oxy-phen-yl)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine

In the title compound, C₂₂H₁₇N₃O, the N atoms of the pyridine rings exhibit a typical trans-trans arrangement: the dihedral angles between the central pyridine ring and the peripheral rings are 22.24 (4) and 2.38 (4)°. In the crystal, pairwise C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers described by an R ² ₂(6) graph set descriptor, which further inter-act through C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions, creating a two-dimensional supra-molecular network propagating in the bc plane.
