title: 2,4,6-Tri-p-tolyl-pyridine.
abstract: In the title compound, C(26)H(23)N, the complete molecule is generated by crystallographic mirror symmetry, with the N atom and four C atoms lying on the reflection plane. The dihedral angles between the pyridine ring and pendant benzene rings are 2.9 (1), 14.1 (1) and 14.1 (1)°. Neighbouring mol-ecules are stabilized through inter-molecular π-π inter-actions along the c axis [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.804 (2) Å], forming one-dimensional chains.
