摘要
The molecule of 4-tricyanovinyl-N,N-diethylaniline is disordered about an axis that is close to the axis passing through the 1,4-carbon atoms. The disorder is a 1：1 type of disorder that involves only part of the molecule as the diethylamino substitutent and the three nitrogen atoms of the tricyanovinyl substituent are ordered. The treatment of the nearly ‘whole-molecule disorder’ by employing a small number of restraints is described. Crystal data： C15H14N4, triclinic, P , a = 7.1996（5）, b = 7.7232（5）, c = 12.4171（8） , α = 99.350（1）, β = 94.647（1）, γ = 103.312（1）o and V = 657.90（8） 3 at –173 K.
