4-[Bis(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]benzonitrile

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 296 K; mean (C-C) = 0.002 Å; R factor = 0.041; wR factor = 0.110; data-to-parameter ratio = 13.0.In the title molecule, C 24 H 17 N 3 , the didhedral angles formed by the mean planes of the indole ring systems and the benzene ring are 86.44 (7) and 86.96 (7) . The dihedral angle between the two indole ring systems is 72.08 (6) . In the crystal, intermolecular bifurcated (N-H) 2 Á Á ÁN hydrogen bonds link molecules into sheets lying parallel to (010).
