Crystal structure of 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)malononitrile

Abstract

The molecule of the title compound, C11H8N2, is approximately planar (r.m.s.deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.023 Å). The malononitrile C—C—C angle is 113.54 (13)°. In the crystal, molecules stack head-to-tail along [010]. There are no significant intermolecular interactions present.
