Crystal structure of (E)-(benzylidene)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amine

Abstract

In the title molecule, C13H12N2, all non-H atoms, except for those of the pyridine ring, are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.025 Å. The mean plane of these atoms forms a dihedral angle of 80.98 (4)° with the pyridine ring. In the crystal, weak C—H...π interactions link the molecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
