The structure of the title compound, C 38 H 60 N 2 O 4 , has been determined and is similar to other compounds of this type, being essentially rod‐shaped with the packing dominated by the lamellar arrangement of the molecules. The molecule lies on an inversion centre; thus only one alkyl chain, one imide ring and one of the non‐bridgehead C atoms in the benzene ring are unique. The diimide moieties are arranged in a classic herring‐bone structure, with two close non‐hydrogen‐atom contacts of 2.874 (5) and 2.946 (5) Å.
