Abstract The compounds 6-(pyrrol-2-yl)-2, 2 '-bipyridine, 2-(pyrrol-2-yl)-1, 10-phenanthroline and 2-(2-(N-methylbenz [d, e] imidazole)-6-(pyrrol-2-yl)-pyridine were synthesized by using an in situ generated boronic acid for the Suzuki coupling. Crystals of the products could be grown and exhibited interesting structures by X-ray analysis, one of them showing a chain- like network with the adjacent molecules linked to each other via intermolecular N–H… N ...
