title: 1-[(1-Methyl-1H-imidazol-5-yl)meth-yl]-1H-indole-5-carbonitrile.
abstract: In the title compound, C14H12N4, the dihedral angle between the indole ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.010 Å) and the imidazole ring is 77.70 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. One set of hydrogen bonds forms an undulating chain running parallel to the b-axis direction, while the other undulating chain is parallel to the c-axis direction. In combination, (100) sheets result.
