title: Crystal structure of (pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)(tri-phenyl-meth-yl)amine.
abstract: The title Schiff base compound, C25H20N2, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In both mol-ecules, the imine group is approximately coplanar with the pyridine ring, with N-C-C-N torsion angles of 170.1 (3) and -172.0 (3) Å. In the crystal, A and B dimers are linked by pairs of C-H⋯π inter-actions and further C-H⋯π bonds link the dimers into a three-dimensional network.
