4-(1-Naphthyl)benzonitrile

Abstract

The title compound, C17H11N, crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit which are linked by a weak C - H⋯N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system in the two mol-ecules are 60.28 (3) and 60.79 (3)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by weak C - H⋯π inter-actions.
