title: 1,3-Dimethyl-1H-indole-2-carbonitrile.
abstract: The title compound, C(11)H(10)N(2), crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, both of which are essentially planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.014 and 0.016 Å). In the crystal, aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions occur [shortest centroid-centroid separation = 3.5569 (11) Å].
