In the title compound, C(12)H(13)N(5)O(2), a Schiff-base-derived chelate ligand, the non-aromatic heterocycle and its substituents essentially occupy one common plane (r.m.s. of fitted non-H atoms = 0.0503 Å). The N=C bond is E-configured. Intra-cyclic angles in the pyridine moiety cover the range 117.6 (2)-124.1 (2)°. Intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structure, as are intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts which, in total, connect the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. The shortest ring-centroid-to-ring-centroid distance of 3.5831 (14) Å is between the two different types of six-membered rings.

The title compound, C(13)H(12)N(4)O(3), is an imidazole derivative featuring an annealed purine ring system. The benzimidazole-inspired moiety is essentially planar (r.m.s. of all fitted non-H atoms = 0.0205 Å). An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed, which connect the mol-ecules into chains along [110]. The shortest centroid-centroid distance between two aromatic systems is 3.7771 (11) Å.
