1,8-Bis(4-amino-benzo-yl)-2,7-dimeth-oxy-naphthalene.

The title compound {systematic name: 8-(4-aminobenzoyl)-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalen-1-ylmethanone}, C(26)H(22)O(4)N(2), possesses crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry, with two C atoms lying on the rotation axis. In the crystal, the mol-ecules inter-act through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amino and meth-oxy groups on the naphthalene ring systems and N-H⋯π inter-actions between the amino groups and the naphthalene rings. Furthermore, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions between the benzene rings are observed. The centroid-centroid and inter-planar distances between the benzene rings of the aroyl group and the naphthalene ring systems of adjacent mol-ecules are 3.6954 (8) and 3.2375 (5) Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system is 83.59 (5)°. The benzene ring and the carbonyl group in the benzoyl unit are almost coplanar [C-C-C-O torsion angle = 175.91 (10)°].
