 abstract = {The supramolecular interactions between 1,3-bisIJ4-pyridyl)azulene (azbbpy) as a hydrogen bond acceptor and a variety of aromatic hydrogen-bond donors produced new binary molecular co-crystals and a salt. All crystal structures display extensive and very complex hydrogen bond networks containing both homo- and heterosynthons formed through robust O--H$\cdots$Nand OH$\cdots$O hydrogen bonds. The binary co-crystals of azbbpy with 4,4$\prime$-biphenol and 4,4$\prime$-oxo-bis-benzoic acid in a 1 : 1 ratio revealed that the recognition process differs. While 4,4$\prime$-biphenol acts both as a donor and an acceptor of protons, generating a twodimensional supramolecular network in which azbbpy interacts with only one pyridine moiety, the cocrystallization with 4,4$\prime$-oxo-bis-benzoic acid yielded zig-zag chains formed by alternating acid--pyridine supramolecular heterosynthons. Co-crystallization with isophthalic acid yields a 2 : 1 system, 4,as hydrogen-bonded zig-zag supramolecular chains containing a a R4 4(36) graph set organized through strong OH$\cdots$N and weak C--H$\cdots$N hydrogen bonds. Co-crystallization of azbbpy with trimesic acid in different ratios yielded two distinct systems: co-crystal 5 and salt 6.In 5, the trimesic acid molecules are assembled in supramolecular helical chains which are further connected by azbbpy through hydrogen bonding and \textgreek{p}--\textgreek{p} interactions into a 3D architecture with channels that host water molecules. A complicated supramolecular 3D architecture is also established between trimesic anions and azbbpyH+ cations in crystal 6,resulting in channels filled with disordered solvent molecules. These types of interactions were also evidenced in a quantitative way and confirmed on grounds of the Hirshfeld surface mapped with geometrical parameters that characterize close contacts in co-crystals. The optical properties of these supramolecular systems showed strong absorption bands in the visible region due to the azulene fragment.},
