In the asymmetric unit of the title salt, C6H7N2O+·C2Cl3O2−, there are two crystallographic independent ion pairs. The amide groups of the 4-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium ions are slightly twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring with C—C—C—N torsion angles of 8.8 (9)° and 4.6 (8)°. In the crystal, the 4-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium ion is N—HO hydrogen bonded to the trichloroacetate ion via the pyridinium unit and amide group. Layers parallel to the ac plane are formed due to the N—HO hydrogen bonding of the adjacent amide groups of 4-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium ions. Weak C—HO interactions also occur.

In the crystal structure of the title 1:1 co-crystal, C6H7N2O+·C2Cl3O2−·C6H6N2O, the amide groups of the 4-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium ion and the isonicotinamide molecule are twisted out of the plane of the aromatic ring with C—C—C—N torsion angles of 21.5 (4) and −33.5 (4)°, respectively. The 4-carbamoylpyridin-1-ium and isonicotinamide amide groups form R22(8) hydrogen-bonded dimers via N—HO=C interactions. The two remaining amide H atoms (i) link dimers via the cation to an isonicotinamide and (ii) from the isonicotinamide to a trichloroacetate anion. The pyridinium H atom also forms an N—HO hydrogen bond with the trichloroacetate anion. Due to the extended hydrogen bonding, including C—HO and C—HCl interactions, all components in the structure aggregate into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
