Abstract
The indole and indane moieties of the title molecule, C18H13NO, form a dihedral angle of 10.2 (2)°. In the crystal structure, symmetry-related molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form infinite one-dimensional chains along the b axis. This chain structure is further stabilized by π–π and C—H⋯π interactions.
