4,4'-[2,2-Dimethyl-propane-1,3-diyl-bis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]dibenzonitrile
Abstract:
The title compound, C(21)H(20)N(4), is a bidentate Schiff base ligand. An intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a five-membered ring, producing an S(5) ring motif. The cyano and imino [-C(H(2))-N=C-] functional groups are coplanar with the benzene ring in each half of the mol-ecule. The packing of the mol-ecules is controlled by C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.6944 (8) Å].

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
