Figure 3
The stacking of molecules of (I) in the crystal. H atoms have been omitted for clarity. This is the stack involving molecules 6 (bonds as solid double lines), 3 (broken double lines), 2 (solid single lines) and 7 (broken single lines), in that order from top to bottom. The central C4—C9 bonds are drawn as thick solid bonds to emphasize their positions with respect to the neighbouring pyridine rings (see text); that of molecule 7 is eclipsed. The view direction is perpendicular to the best plane of molecule 3. |
