2-(2-Iodo-phen-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetra-hydro-isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile.

In the title compound, C(16)H(13)IN(2), the two benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 67.26 (5)°. The six-membered heterocycle of the tetra-hydro-isoquinoline unit adopts a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. An intra-molecular C-H⋯I close contact is also observed.
