Crystal structure of (E)-N-(3,3-diphenylallylidene)-9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-amine

Abstract

In the title compound, C29H24N2, the C=N bond of the central imine group adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the essentially planar carbazole ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.039 (2) Å] and the two phenyl rings of the 3,3-diphenylallylidene unit are 75.9 (1) and 64.6 (1)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
