title: trans-1-Phenyl-pyrrolidine-2,5-dicarbo-nitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C(12)H(11)N(3), the plane of the phenyl ring and the least-squares plane of the pyrrolidine ring enclose an angle of 14.30 (6)°. The intra-cyclic N atom features a nearly trigonal-planar coordination geometry due to π-inter-actions with the aromatic system. The pyrrolidine ring is present in a twist conformation for which the closest pucker descriptor is (C9)T(C8). Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯π contacts occur.
