Crystal structure of ( E )- N -(3,3-diphenylallylidene)-9-ethyl-9 H -carbazol-3-amine

In the title compound, C29H24N2, the C=N bond of the central imine group adopts an E conformation. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the essentially planar carbazole ring system [r.m.s. deviation = 0.039 (2) Å] and the two phenyl rings of the 3,3-di-phenyl-allyl-idene unit are 75.9 (1) and 64.6 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
