9-p-Tolyl-9H-carbazole-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound, C20H14N2, the carbazole ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.187 Å) and is inclined at an angle of 54.33 (4) ° with respect to the benzene ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak C—H...N and C—H...π interactions.
