Abstract: In tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane (or 4,4',4''-methanetriyltriphenol), C₁₉H₁₆O₃, molecules are connected by O-HO hydrogen bonds [OO = 2.662 (2) and 2.648 (2) Å] into two-dimensional square networks that are twofold interpenetrated. In tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane-4,4'-bipyridine (1/1), C₁₉H₁₆O₃·C₁₀H₈N₂, trisphenol molecules form rectangular networks via O-HO [OO = 2.694 (3) Å] and C-HO [CO = 3.384 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds. Bipyridine molecules hydrogen bonded to phenol moieties [ON = 2.622 (3) and 2.764 (3) Å] fill the voids to complete the structure.

Formula: C₁₉H₁₆O₃ and C₁₉H₁₆O₃·C₁₀H₈N₂
