description Six novel quaternary ammonium derivatives of 4-pyrrolidino pyridine were prepared and isolated via a facile one-pot synthesis and a simple purification procedure. The purity and the molecular structure of the 4-pyrrolidino pyridine derivatives were confirmed with <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystal structures of the compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and their thermal properties were studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analyses. The antibacterial properties of the title compounds against five bacterial strains were evaluated using Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test. The compounds crystallize in the monoclinic or orthorhombic crystal systems (space groups: <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>c</i>, <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>n,</i> or <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>2<sub>1</sub>) and their crystal structures are stabilized by a combination of intra- and intermolecular halogen bonding interactions, short contacts and π-π interactions. Above interactions, they contribute to the thermal stability and lack of phase transition effects up to 350 °C. Two of the compounds possess antibacterial effect against <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> or <i>S</i>. <i>aureus</i> bacterial strains—similar or better than the kanamycin reference.
