4,4'-(Disulfanediyl)dibutanoic acid (dtba) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) crystallize in an 1:1 ratio, leading to the title co-crystal with composition C8H14O4S2·C10H8N2. A distinctive feature of the crystal structure is the geometry of the dtba moiety, which appears to be stretched [with a 9.98 (1) Å span between outermost carbons] and acts as an hydrogen-bonding connector, forming linear chains along [-211] with the 4,4'-bpy moiety by way of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯O interactions.
