Experimental

R factor = 0.059; wR factor = 0.147; data-to-parameter ratio = 8.9. The title compound, C16H17N, is a carbazole derivative that has been designed and synthesized as a potential organic electronic device, such as an OLED. The tricyclic aromatic ring system is essentially planar, the two outer rings making a dihedral angle of 4.8 (1). No classical hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure.
