Abstract
From analysis of the geometry of the attractive intramolecular interactions between the pyridine N atoms and the nitrile C atoms in title compound 2 it is proposed that the most favoured direction of approach of a nucleophile to an sp C(N) makes an angle of at least 108° to the triple bond.Keywords
