The effect, of aprotic inert media on the conformational structure of 2-(2,2-dicyanovinyl-1-methylthio)-5-methylpyrrole was studied by UV, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. Chloroform and less polar solvents stabilize only one of the four conformers. In more polar media, there is a dynamic equilibrium between all the possible conformers of the title compound. The state of the equilibrium depends both on the solvent and on the temperature.
