Description
Summary:In the title compound, C20H14N4O2, molecules are linked into chains by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, but the cyano group does not participate in the supramolecular aggregation. The crystal structure of the compound indicates the presence of a double bond with Z geometry, connecting the imidazolidine and indole units. The dihedral angle between the imidazole and benzene ring planes is 62.45 (4)°.
