(2E)-3-(2-Chloro-8-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)-1-(2,4-di-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

(2E)-3-(2-Chloro-7-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)-1-(6-chloro-2-methyl-4-phenyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one ethanol monosolvate

In the title ethanol solvate, C₂₉H₂₀Cl₂N₂O·C₂H₅OH, the quinolinyl residues form a dihedral angle of 46.41 (4)° with each other, and each is inclined [C_p—C—C=O and C=C—C—C_p (p = pyridyl) torsion angles = 54.8 (2) and 144.44 (19)°, respectively] with respect to the almost planar bridging prop-2-en-1-one residue [O=C—C=C torsion angle = −4.1 (3)°]. The ethanol solvent mol­ecule is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy and is located close to a centre of inversion. These mol­ecules reside in cavities defined by the organic mol­ecules, which are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N inter­actions, as well as π–π contacts [inter-centroid distances = 3.5853 (10) and 3.8268 (11) Å], each involving pyridyl rings.

(2E)-3-(2-Chloro-benzo[h]quinolin-3-yl)-1-(2-methyl-4-phenyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C32H21ClN2O, an almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.033 Å) prop-2-en-1-one bridge links quinolinyl and benzoquinolinyl residues; the latter are twisted out of the plane of the bridge [dihedral angles = 75.94 (5) and 20.20 (5)°, respectively]. In the crystal, a three-dimensional architecture arises as a result of C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π [centroid-centroid distances involving pyridine rings = 3.5806 (7)-3.7537 (7) Å] interactions.

(2E)-3-(2-Chloro-8-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)-1-(2-methyl-4-phenyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C₂₉H₂₁ClN₂O, there is a twist in the bridging prop-2-en-1-one group [C=C—C=O torsion angle = 22.7 (2)°]. The quinolinyl residues form a dihedral angle of 86.92 (4)°, indicating an almost perpendicular relationship. In the crystal, supra­molecular layers in the bc plane are stabilized by C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.4947 (7) Å].

(2E)-3-(6-Chloro-2-meth-oxy-quinolin-3-yl)-1-(2,4-di-methyl-quinolin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₂₄H₁₉ClN₂O₂, is bent, with the dihedral angle between the terminal quinoline ring systems being 63.30 (5)°. The quinolinyl residues are connected by an almost planar prop-2-en-1-one bridge (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å), with the dihedral angles between this plane and the appended quinolinyl residues being 75.86 (7) and 38.54 (7)°. The C atom of the meth­oxy group is close to coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = 0.116 (2) Å]. In the crystal, a three-dimensional architecture is constructed by meth­yl–carbonyl C—H⋯O inter­actions and π–π inter­actions between centrosymmetrically related quinolinyl residues [centroid-to-centroid separations 3.5341 (10) and 3.8719 (9) Å].
