The crystal structure of the 2:1 co-crystal of 1,2,5-thiadiazole-3,4-dicarboxylic acid and 4,4 0 -bipyridine, (C 4 H 2 N 2 O 4 S) 2 ÁC 10 H 8 N 2 , has been determined by X-ray diffraction at the monoclinic space group C2/c with cell parameters of a = 21.388 (7) Å , b = 6.735(2) Å , c = 14.877(5) Å , b = 110.431(3)°, and Z = 4. There are one molecule of thiadiazole and a half molecule of bipyridine in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring planes is 40.5(3)°. Two intramolecular O-HÁÁÁN [2.730(7) Å ] and O-HÁÁÁO [2.433(6) Å ] hydrogen bonds are observed in the thiadiazole molecule. In the crystal structure, the molecules form a unique twodimensional ladder-type network linked by intermolecular O-HÁÁÁN [2.704(4) Å ] hydrogen bonds and SÁÁÁO [3.100(5) Å ] heteroatom interactions.Keywords Two-dimensional ladder-type network Á 1, 2, 5-Thiadiazole Á 4, 4 0 -Bipyridine Á Intermolecular O-HÁÁÁN hydrogen bond Á Intermolecular SÁÁÁO heteroatom interaction
