The structures of six 2,2′-bipyridine derivatives containing aromatic amine moieties, namely N-aryl-4-aryl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-cyclopenta[c]pyridine-3-amines, were studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular structures and the effect of the substituents of these compounds on the crystal packing are discussed.
