ABSTRACT
2-Chloro-3-(beta-nitrovinyl)quinoline (CNQ) was crystallographically studied owing to its medicinal properties and its occurrance in numerous commercial products, including pharmaceuticals, fragrances and dyes. The vinyl group is planar, and takes up an extended conformation. An hydrogen bonding of C-H...N type helps to stabilize the molecules in the unit cell.

4-(4'-Diethylaminophenyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(2-pyrrolidin-1-yl)-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (DMPPC) was studied by X-ray diffraction methods due to its non-linear optical properties. The pyrrolidine and pyridine rings adopt half-chair and planar conformations, respectively. The molecules in the crystal are stabilized by C-H...O and C-H...N types of intermolecular interactions in addition to van der Waals forces.
