Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₀N, contains one half-molecule of 4,4'-bis[2-(2-pyridyl)vinyl]biphenyl; the other half is generated by inversion symmetry. It displays a trans configuration with respect to the C=C bond. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 15.1 (3)°.
