4′-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine
In the title compound, C<sub>22</sub>H<sub>17</sub>N<sub>3</sub>O, the N atoms of the pyridine rings exhibit a typical <i>trans</i>-<i>trans</i> 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 <i>R</i> <sup>2</sup> <sub>2</sub>(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 <i>bc</i> plane.
