The crystal structure of 2-(1-phenylimidazolidin-2-ylidene)-malononitrile, I, and 2-(hexahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene)-malononitrile, II, were determined with crystal data (I: Monoclinic, P21/n, a=8.116(3) Å, b=7.650(3) Å, c=17.399(7) Å, β=93.065(6)°, R all=0.0980; II: Monoclinic, P21/n, a=9.169(2) Å, b=8.103(2) Å, c=10.337(3) Å, β=99.853(4)°, R all=0.0877). N−H···N hydrogen bonds were responsible for the formation of centrosymmetric dimers of I and one-dimensional zigzag molecular chains of II.
