4-[(E)-Phenyl-imino-meth-yl]benzonitrile.

ABSTRACT: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(10)N(2), the two aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 32.22 (6)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric R(2) (2)(10) dimers. A weak π-π inter-action between the cyanobenzene rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.8447 (3) Å, further stabilizes the crystal structure. There is also a C-H⋯π inter-action between the aniline ring and a CH group of the cyanobenzene ring.
