In the title compounds, C11H18N2, (II), and C13H20N2O, (III), the pyrrolidine rings have twist conformations. Compound (II) crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The mean planes of the pyrrole and pyrrolidine rings are inclined to one another by 89.99 (11) and 89.35 (10)° in mol­ecules A and B, respectively. In (III), the amide derivative of (II), the same dihedral angle is much smaller, at only 13.42 (10)°. In the crystal structure of (II), the individual mol­ecules are linked via N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers, each with an R22(12) graph-set motif. In the crystal structure of (III), the mol­ecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers with an R22(16) graph-set motif.

The 4-chloro- [C14H11ClN2O2, (I)], 4-bromo- [C14H10BrN2O2, (II)] and 4-diethyl­amino- [C18H21N3O2, (III)] derivatives of benzyl­idene-4-hy­droxy­benzo­hydrazide, all crystallize in the same space group (P21/c), (I) and (II) also being isomorphous. In all three compounds, the conformation about the C=N bond is E. The mol­ecules of (I) and (II) are relatively planar, with dihedral angles between the two benzene rings of 5.75 (12) and 9.81 (17)°, respectively. In (III), however, the same angle is 77.27 (9)°. In the crystal structures of (I) and (II), two-dimensional slab-like networks extending in the a and c directions are formed via N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules stack head-to-tail via [pi]-[pi] inter­actions involving the aromatic rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.7622 (14) Å in (I) and 3.8021 (19) Å in (II)]. In (III), undulating two-dimensional networks extending in the b and c directions are formed via N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules stack head-to-head via [pi]-[pi] inter­actions involving inversion-related benzene rings [cen­troid-centroid distances = 3.6977 (12) and 3.8368 (11) Å].

In the inner-salt zwitterion of 3,6-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,5-dicarb­oxy­lic acid, (I), namely 5-carb­oxy-3-(pyridin-1-ium-2-yl)-6-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2-carboxyl­ate, [C16H10N4O4, (Ia)], the pyrazine ring has a twist–boat conformation. The opposing pyridine and pyridinium rings are almost perpendicular to one another, with a dihedral angle of 80.24 (18)°, and are inclined to the pyrazine mean plane by 36.83 (17) and 43.74 (17)°, respectively. The carb­oxy and carboxyl­ate groups are inclined to the mean plane of the pyrazine ring by 43.60 (17) and 45.46 (17)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are linked via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of double-stranded chains propagating in the [010] direction. On treating (Ia) with aqueous 1 M HCl, the diprotonated dihydrate form 2,2′-(3,6-dicar­boxy­pyrazine-2,5-di­yl)bis­(pyridin-1-ium) dichloride dihydrate [C16H12N4O42+·2Cl·2H2O, (Ib)] was obtained. The cation lies about an inversion centre. The pyridinium rings and carb­oxy groups are inclined to the planar pyrazine ring by 55.53 (9) and 19.8 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are involved in N—H...Cl, O—H...Owater and Owater—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of chains propagating in the [010] direction. When (Ia) was recrystallized from dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the DMSO disolvate 3,6-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,5-dicarb­oxy­lic acid dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate [C16H10N4O4·2C2H6OS, (Ic)] of (I) was obtained. Here, the mol­ecule of (I) lies about an inversion centre and the pyridine rings are inclined to the planar pyrazine ring by only 23.59 (12)°. However, the carb­oxy groups are inclined to the pyrazine ring by 69.0 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the carb­oxy groups are linked to the DMSO mol­ecules by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. In all three crystal structures, the presence of nonclassical hydrogen bonds gives rise to the formation of three-dimensional supra­molecular architectures.
