In the structure of the title nicotinonitrile derivative, C19H15N3O, the pyridine ring makes dihedral angles of 11.50 (7) and 43.36 (8)° with the 4-aminophenyl and phenyl rings, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the phenyl rings is 36.28°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into wave-like sheets parallel to (10-2). These sheets are stacked by π–π interactions between the 4-aminophenyl rings of adjacent sheets, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7499 (9) Å. C—H⋯π interactions are also present.

The title compound (I) was synthesized by stirring a solution of (E)-1-(4-aminophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one (0.22 g, 1 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) with freshly prepared sodium methoxide (1.0 mmol of sodium in 20 ml of methanol). An excess of malononitrile (0.13 g, 2 mmol) was then added with continuous stirring at room temperature until a precipitate was obtained. The resulting solid was filtered. Yellow plate-shaped single crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray
was recrystallized from ethanol/methanol (1:1 v/v) by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature over several days. Mp. 475–476 K.The amino H atoms were located from difference maps and refined isotropically. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å for aromatic and 0.98 Å for CH3 atoms. The Uiso values were constrained to be 1.5Ueq of the
for methyl H atoms and 1.2Ueq for the remaining H atoms. A rotating group model was used for the methyl groups.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2009); cell

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) 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. |

Nicotinonitrile derivatives are substituted pyridines synthesized from the condensation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with malononitrile (Al-Jaber et al., 2012; Zhou et al., 2006). They have a wide range of bioactivities including antitumor, antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-hyperglycemic and antiproliferative activities (Brandt et al., 2010; El-Sayed et al., 2011; Ji et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2005). Nicotinonitriles also find applications as non-linear optical (Raghukumar et al., 2003) and fluorescent materials (Koner et al., 2012). Continuing our ongoing research on fluorescent materials (Chantrapromma et al., 2013; Suwunwong et al., 2012; 2013), the title compound (I) was synthesized and its fluorescent properties were studied. Our results found that (I) possesses significant fluorescent properties that will be discussed elsewhere, together with those of other closely related compounds. Herein the crystal structure of (I) is reported.
The title compound (I), C19H15N3O, is a non-planar molecule (Fig. 1). The pyridine ring makes dihedral angles of 11.50 (7)° and 43.36 (8)° with the 4-aminophenyl and phenyl rings, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 36.28°. The methoxy group lies in the plane of the pyridine ring with an rms deviation of 0.0102 (1) Å for the eight non-H atoms (C7–C9/C16–C17/C19/N2/O1) and the torsion angle C19–O1–C16–N2 = -1.2 (2)°. The cyano group is also roughly co-planar with the pyridine ring with an rms deviation of 0.0406 (1) Å from the ring plane. The bond distances in (I) agree with the literature values (Allen et al., 1987) and are comparable to those found in closely related structures (Chantrapromma et al., 2013 and Suwunwong et al., 2012; 2013).
In the crystal structure (Fig. 2), molecules are linked by intermolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming screw chains. These chains are further linked by N—H···N hydrogen bonds into a two dimensional structure as wave-like sheets parallel to the (1 0 - 2) plane (Fig. 3). These sheets are stacked by π···π interactions between 4-aminophenyl rings of the adjacent sheets with Cg1···Cg1iii, iv distances of 3.7499 (9) Å; Cg1 is the centroid of the N2/C7–C9/C16–C17 pyridine ring. The crystal is further stabilized by C–H···π interactions (Table 1).
