Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C22H28N2, contains 1,2-diphenyl-ethane-1,2-diimine and diisobutyl groups, with the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings being 89.23 (5)º. In the crystal, the molecules are elongated along the c-axis direction and stacked along the b-axis direction. Neither intra- or intermolecular hydrogen bondings nor aromatic π–π stacking interactions are observed. The weak C—H· · ·π(ring) interactions may help in the consolidation of the packing.
