9-[4-(Azidomethyl)phenyl]-9H-carbazole-3-carbonitrile

Abstract

In the title compound C20H13N5, the dihedral angle between the carbazole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027Å) and the pendant benzene ring is 55.08(6)°. One of the azide N atoms is disordered over two positions in a 0.65(2):0.35(2) ratio. In the crystal, aromatic π-π stacking is observed [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.6499(13)Å] as well as inversion-dimers connected by pairs of weak C - Hπ interactions. © Ramathilagam et al. 2014.
