title: Crystal structure of N (1)-phenyl-N (4)-[(E)-(pyren-1-yl)methyl-idene]benzene-1,4-di-amine.
abstract: In the title compound, C29H20N2, the dihedral angles subtended by the central p-phenyl-enedi-amine ring with respect to the mean plane of the terminal pyrenyl ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) and the terminal N-phenyl ring are 29.34 (4) and 43.43 (7)°, respectively. The conformation about the C=N bond is E. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯π and C-H⋯π inter-actions forming chains propagating along the [10-2] direction. These chains are linked via π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distances are in the range 3.5569 (11)-3.708 (1) Å], forming slabs lying parallel to (30-4).
