Abstract: In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₃IN₂, the benzene ring of the tetrahydroisoquinoline moiety makes a dihedral angle of 45.02 (9)° with the benzene ring of the 4-iodophenyl fragment. The N atom and the adjacent unsubstituted C atom of the tetrahydroisoquinoline unit are displaced by 0.294 (2) and 0.441 (3) Å, respectively, from the plane through the remaining eight C atoms. In the crystal, pairs of adjacent molecules are linked into dimers by weak intermolecular C-H interactions.
