We examine the crystal structure of terpyridine dioxide and tetracyanobenzene which makes a 1:1 bimolecular compound. The crystal structure is stabilized by an assortment of nonbonded contacts that link adjacent TCNB and TPDO building blocks. CH…O motifs extend along the [101] direction resulting in an undulating supramolecular pattern.
