The torsion angles in the aliphatic chain between the carbonyl group C atoms range from 172.97 (14) to 179.38 (14)¡ã and the r.m.s. deviation of all non-H atoms is 0.059 . The crystal packing is dominated by two strong N¡ªH...O hydrogen bonds involving the amide groups and forming R22(8) rings and C(4) chains. Overall, a two-dimensional network parallel to (100) is formed. A weak intermolecular C¡ªH...O interaction is also present. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536812003303
