Abstract
The title compound, 3,3'-(4-pyridylimino)dipropanenitrile, C 11 H 12 N 4 , has a twofold axis and consists of a pyridine ring head and two cyanoethyl tails, the three groups being linked by an N atom. The planar geometry around the amino N atom suggests conjugation with the π-system of the pyridine ring. The molecules are stacked in a layer structure via relatively weak to very weak intermolecular C-H...π and C-H...N hydrogen-bond interactions.
