title: 6-[(E)-2-Phenyl-vin-yl]-1H-indole.
abstract: The title compound, C(16)H(13)N, is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.081 (3) Å], with a dihedral angle of 1.65 (13)° between the planes of the indole and benzene rings. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecular π-π inter-actions [minimum ring centroid-centroid separation = 4.217 (5) Å].
