2-Cyano-2-iso-nitro-soacetamide-3,4-di-methylpyrazole (1/1): a co-crystal of two mol-ecules with agrochemical activities.

In the structure of the title co-crystal, C 3 H 3 N 3 O 2 ·C 5 H 8 N 2 , the components are linked by a set of directional O-H⋯N, N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to yield a two-dimensional mono-periodic arrangement. The structure propagates in the third dimension by extensive π-π stacking inter-actions of nearly parallel mol-ecules of the two components, following an alternating sequence. The primary structure-defining inter-action is very strong oxime-OH donor to pyrazole-N acceptor hydrogen bond [O⋯N = 2.587 (2) Å], while the significance of weaker hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions is comparable. The distinct structural roles of different kinds of inter-actions agree with the results of a Hirshfeld surface analysis and calculated inter-action energies. The title compound provides insights into co-crystals of active agrochemical mol-ecules and features the rational integration in one structure of a fungicide, C 3 H 3 N 3 O 2 , and a second active component, C 5 H 8 N 2 , known for alleviation the toxic effects of fungicides on plants. The material appears to be well suited for practical uses, being non-volatile, air-stable, water-soluble, but neither hygroscopic nor efflorescent.
