In the molecule, the benzene ring, the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring, and the pyridine ring are twisted slightly with respect to each other [dihedral angle between the benzene and 1,3,4-oxadiazole rings = 9.4 (4) and between the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine rings = 3.0 (4)¡ã]. Moreover, the dihedral angles between the two phenyl rings and the benzene ring are 88.2 (4) and 113.3 (4)¡ã, and that between the two phenyl rings is 67.9 (4)¡ã. The closest distances between the pyridine ring and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole and benzene rings in adjacent molecules are 3.316 and 3.363 , respectively, indicating the existence of ¦Ð¨C¦Ð interactions. %U http://scripts.iucr.org/cgi-bin/paper?S1600536807065245
