Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₁H₁₂ClN₃O, the phenoxy ring makes dihedral angles of 51.42 (5) and 65.01 (6)°, respectively, with the chlorophenyl and phthalonitrile rings. In the crystal structure, the molecules are interlinked through weak C-HN and C-H contacts, and - stacking interactions via crystallographic inversion centres form a three-dimensional network. The distance between the centroids of the phthalonitrile rings is 3.9104 (11)Å, with a slippage between the rings of 1.626 Å and a perpendicular distance between the rings of 3.556 Å.
