The structure of N,N′-bis(4-hexyloxybenzoyl)piperazine was determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the space group P21/c (#14) with cell parameters a = 27.234(7)Å, b = 7.496(2)Å, c = 6.820(2)Å, β = 93.80(2)°, Z = 2, and V = 1389.3(6)Å3. The molecule sits on a center of symmetry, such that the two benzoyl groups are in an anti conformation with respect to one another across the piperazine ring. Intermolecular C–H···O and C–H···π interactions were observed in the crystal lattice.
