title: 5-Phenyl-2-(4-pyrid-yl)pyrimidine.
abstract: The title compound, C(15)H(11)N(3), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and pyridine rings in each mol-ecule are 53.48 (5) and 50.80 (5)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect mol-ecules into one-dimensional chains. In addition, the crystal structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯π(arene) inter-actions.
