“…1. The bond lengths and angles within the pyridinium ring are normal and comparable with those reported for related structures (Seethalakshmi et al, 2006;Sundar et al, 2004aSundar et al, ,b, 2005Sundar et al, 2006Sundar et al, , 2006a. The N1-C6-C7-O1, C6-C7-O1-C8 and C7-O1-C8-C9 torsion angles in (I) ( Table 1) indicate that the ethoxycarbonylmethyl group is in an extended conformation.…”
