The new organic salt, 2-aminobenzoxazol-3-ium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate, C7H7N2O+·C4H3O4 −, of the two bioactive compounds 2-aminobenzoxazole and fumaric acid, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca using classical evaporation of their solution in water. The usual topological analysis revealed four classical (N—H...O and O—H...O) and two non-classical (C—H...O) hydrogen bonds in the structure. Stacking was found as well for a pair of 2-aminobenzoxazolium cations. A Hirshfeld surface analysis including the two-dimensional fingerprint plots was performed to define the residual π–π interactions and to quantify the influences of different types of interactions by means of topological analysis. Analysis of the pairwise interaction energies was used to prove the formation of the corrugated paired layers of cation–anion dimers parallel to the plane (001) as a basic structural motif in the topological, as well as in the energetic structure of the crystal. It showed that the layers are connected by the hydrogen bonds inside and by stacking and π–π interactions and general dispersion between them.

The title 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivative crystallizes as a hemihydrate, C8H6N2O2S·0.5H2O, with the water molecule located on a twofold rotation axis. The 1,3,4-oxadiazole molecule is essentially planar, the r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms being 0.0443 Å. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenyl and oxadiazole rings is 6.101 (17)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via O—H...S and N—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule, the N—H group and the thione S atom into undulating ribbons. Additional π–π interactions generate a two-dimensional supramolecular framework extending parallel to (001).

The title compound, C7H7N3S, which has potential biological activity, can be used as a ligand in metal complexation. This compound exists as the thione tautomer in the crystal phase, which is confirmed by the study of its molecular structure. The amino group has pyramidal configuration. In the crystal phase, the two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form tetramers as a result of N—H...S hydrogen bonds. These tetramers are linked by N—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming chains/tubes in the [010] direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the highest contribution to the total surface is provided by H...H interactions as well as S...H/H...S and C...H/H...C contacts associated with X—H...S hydrogen bonds and X—H...C(π) interactions.
