5-Chloro-3-[(E)-1,2-diphenylethenyl]-1H-indole

Abstract

In the title compound, C22H16ClN, the pyrrole system makes a dihedral angle of 68.9 (1)° with the plane of phenyl ring at the ethenyl 1-position. An intra­molecular C—H⋯π inter­action is observed. In the crystal, inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions link the mol­ecules into infinite chains running along the b axis.
