The structure of the title compound, C17H15N3, consists of two independent molecules which are connected by nearly linear weak N(amino)-H^...N(pyridine) hydrogen bonds through a pseudo center of inversion to form a dimer.Conformationally, this symmetrically substituted pyridine derivative displays an E,E form.In this form the H-atom interactions between neighboring rings are reduced.
