The co-crystallization of 1,3-diethyl-2-thiobarbituric acid (HDetba) with 2,2'-bipyridine (Bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) in aqueous medium are prepared a salt co-crystal, BipyH(Detba)(HDetba) (1), and the salt, PhenH(Detba)•H2O (2). The compounds have been characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, and TG-DSC. The nitrogen atoms of BipyH + adopt an cis conformation with the N-CC -N torsion angle is −17.3(1)º. There are six intermolecular hydrogen bonds O-H•••O, N-H•••O, C-H•••O and C-H•••S in (1) which form 2D plane network. The Detbaion and HDetba molecule form pair by means of hydrogen bonds. The Detba anions in (2) do not form dimers, they are connected by N-H•••O, C-H•••S and C-H•••O hydrogen bonds only with PhenH + cations and water molecules which form 3D net. The different ππ interactions between the rings are found in the (1)-(2). The compounds are characterized by powder XRD, TG-DSC.
