β¦ Synopsis
The absorption and fluorescence spectra of 2-styrylquinoline (2-StQ) indicate that two conformers exist in equilibrium in aprotic solvents, whereas only one conformer exists in protic solvents. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the solute and solvent plays an important role in changing the conformational equihbrium of 2-StQ. Comparing the conformationally restricted analogue 3-methyl-2-styrylquinoline with 2-StQ, the long wavelength absorbing component of 2-StQ can be assigned to the conformer (B) which has a planar geometry and the short wavelength absorbing species can be assigned to the conformer (A) which has the quinoline ring twisted from the molecular plane.

The relative energies and dipolar properties of two conformers of 2,2V-bipyridine (1) were calculated using AM1 and ab initio methods. Dipole moments of 1 and pyridine in many organic solvents were determined. On this basis, the Gibbs energy DG (s) for the conformational s-transWs-cis equilibrium of
The assignments of the proton and carbon signals and conformations of substituted 2-aryl-trans-decahydroquinolin-4-ones were determined using a combination of 'H, "C, COSY and HETCOR spectral data.
