Abstract: The title compound, C₁₆H₁₃N, is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.081 (3) Å], with a dihedral angle of 1.65 (13)° between the planes of the indole and benzene rings. In the crystal, there are no significant intermolecular - interactions [minimum ring centroid-centroid separation = 4.217 (5) Å].
