Abstract
The title compound, C26H22O4, is a derivative of 1,4-bis(phenylethynyl)benzene substituted by four methoxy groups at the terminal benzene rings. The asymmetric unit consists of two half-molecules; one centrosymmetric molecule is planar but the other is non-planar, with dihedral angles of 67.7 (1)° between the central benzene ring and the terminal benzene rings. In the crystal structure, molecules form a zigzag molecular network due to π–π [the interplanar and centroid–centroid distances between the benzene rings are 3.50 (1) and 3.57 (1) Å, respectively] and C—H⋯π interactions (2.75 Å). Introduction of the four methoxy groups results in the supramolecular architecture.

The synthetic research of ethynylated aromatic compounds has attracted considerable attention because of interest in their molecular structures (Bunz et al, 1999; Kawase et al, 2003), optical properties (Beeby et al, 2002; Bunz, 2000) and molecular electronics (Tour, 2000). 1,4-Bis(phenylethynyl)benzene is used as a building block in applications such as liquid-crystalline materials (Dai et al, 1999) and electronconducting molecular wires (Moore et al, 2006)
We investigated the molecular and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), which is a derivative substituted by four methoxy groups at the terminal benzene rings
