In the title compound, C20H18N2O2, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N interactions generate a chain that runs parallel to the b axis and incorporates C(7) and R22(15) graph-set motifs. The supramolecular aggregation is completed by the presence of weak C—H⋯π interactions.

Equivalent molar quantities of N-ethyl carbazol-9-carboxaldehyde (1.0 g, 4.48 mmol) and ethylcyanoacetate (0.51 g, 4.48 mmol) were dissolved in 25 ml e thanol then heated at reflux. Pipyridine (one drop) was added to the solution and reflux was continued for 6 h. The solution was cooled to room temperature and the solid products were filtered and washed with ethanol (25 ml). Recrystalization from ethanol gave yellow prisms of (I).

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R-factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Nonlinear optical (NLO) andelectro-optic (EO) properties of organic dyes have been the hot subject nowadays because of the potential applications in optical switching, optical telecommunication devices, optical disks, new type of dye lasers (Kimoto et al., 2004). Carbazole derivatives have important roles of optical material due to their special photorefractive, electrical, and chemical properties. Carbazoles are well known as a conjugated, good hole transporting, electron-donor, planar compound and easy to introduce solubilizing groups to rigid ring structure (Park et al., 1998).
The molecular structure of title compound (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The bond lengths and angles in (I) display normal values (Allen et al., 1987). The nine-membered ring N1/C1—C8 is essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.014 (5)Åfor C5 and -0.025 (4) Å for C7 from its mean plane, respectively. In the molecule of (I), the rest atoms of the molecule lie close to the nine-membered ring plane, with the maximum deviations of 1.110 (7), -0.467 (3) and -0.341 (5) Å, for C20, O1 and C18, respectively.
The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by weak C—H···O and C—H···N interactions (Table 1, Fig. 2), that generates a chain which runs parallel to the baxis and has the graph-set motifs of C(7) and R22(15). The supramolecular aggregation is completed by the presence of C—H···π interactions (Table 1).
