2,2′-[1,1′-(Decane-1,10-diyldioxydinitrilo)diethylidyne]diphenol

The salen-type bis-oxime title compound, C26H36N2O4, lies about a crystallographic inversion centre. Classical intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate two S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal structure, pairs of weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules into an infinite one-dimensional supramolecular structure.
