The title compounds C7H8ClN3O2S, (I), and C9H10ClN3O4S2, (II), both crystallize in monoclinic space group P2(1) /c with unit cell parameters (I) a = 7.9402(7), b = 10.6312(9), c = 11.7626(10), , beta = 99.271(5)A degrees, Z = 4 and (II) a = 5.1439(2), b = 9.0636(4), c = 27.1814 (7), , beta = 95.116(2)A degrees, Z = 4. In (I) the molecule consists of a 5-pyridine-4-yl group bonded to the carbon atom at the 5 position of (1, 3, 4) oxadiazole-2 thione hydrochloride monohydrate. The angle between the mean planes of the oxadiazole and pyridine rings is 9.6(6)A degrees. Crystal packing in (I) is stabilized by strong N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds in concert with a solvent water molecule and weak O-H center dot center dot center dot Cl, O-H center dot center dot center dot S, N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl intermolecular interactions. The crystal structure of compound (II) consists of 4 [5-ethylsulfanyl)-(1, 3, 4) thiadiazole-2-yl]-pyridinium perchlorate, (C9H10N3S2)(+)(ClO4)(-), cation-anion pairs, containing strong intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds and weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O and N-H center dot center dot center dot O intermolecular interactions operating between the ionic species that form a cooperative hydrogen-bonded, infinite chain O-H center dot center dot center dot O-H center dot center dot center dot O-H network which generates a sheet motif structure in the unit cell. It is also supported by weak intermolecular Cg center dot center dot center dot Cg pi-pi and Cl-O center dot center dot center dot Cg pi-ring interactions which gives additional support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell.
