4-(4′-Diethylaminophenyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(2-pyrrolidin-1 -yl)-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (DMPPC) was studied by Xray 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.
