In the title compound, 2C14H19N4O3+·C7H3NO42−·5H2O, the asymmetric unit contains two trimethoprim cations ( A and B), a dipicolinate anion and five water mol­ecules. One of the picolinate carboxyl­ate groups inter­acts with cation A via a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a ring motif (8). A loop of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds is formed between four water mol­ecules and the two carboxyl­ate groups to form a supramolecular chain along the a axis. Mol­ecules A and B constitute a base pair via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, and these base pairs are cross-linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the title compounds, namely 2,4-diamino-5-[(3,4,5-trimethoxy­phenyl)methyl]­pyrimidin-1-ium pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate, C14H19N4O3+·C6H4NO2−, (I), and 2-amino-4,6-dimethyl­pyrimidin-1-ium pyridine-2-carboxyl­ate hemihydrate, C6H10N3+·C6H4NO2−·0.5H2O, (II), the trimethoprim and 2-amino-4,6-dimethyl­pyrimidin-1-ium cations are protonated at one of the pyrimidine N atoms. In (I), bifurcated hydrogen bonds are observed between a picolinate O atom, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group; the graph-set designator is R21(6). The pyrimidine moieties of the trimethoprim cations are centrosymmetrically paired through a pair of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In addition to the base pairing, one of the picolinate O atoms bridges the 2- and 4-amino groups on either side of the paired bases, resulting in a complementary DADA array. In (II), the carboxyl­ate group of the picolinate anion binds with the protonated pyrimidine N atom and the 2-amino group of the pyrimidine moiety through a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the common ring motif R22(8). The water mol­ecule, which resides on a twofold rotation axis, bridges the carboxyl­ate group of the picolinate anion via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
