Diammonium diaquabis(phosphato)triferrate(II), (NH4)2[Fe3(P2O7)2(H2O)2], was synthesized under solvothermal conditions at 463 K. The crystal structure, isotypic to its Mn and Ni analogues, is built from iron pyrophosphate layers parallel to (100), which are linked by ammonium ions sitting in the interlayer space via O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds. There are two crystallographic Fe sites in the crystal structure, one at a special position (2a, -1), the other at a general position (4e, 1). The former Fe atom on the inversion centre is coordinated by six O atoms, forming an FeO6 octahedron, while the latter is coordinated by five phosphate O atoms and one water molecule, forming an FeO5(H2O) octahedron. Each FeO6 octahedron shares trans edges with two FeO5(H2O) octahedra, forming a linear trimeric unit. These trimers share the lateral edges of FeO5(H2O) with other trimers, forming a zigzag chain running along [010]. The zigzag chains are further linked by P2O7 groups into a layered structure parallel to (100).

In the title compound, [Ni(C9H6N3O2)2(H2O)4]·10H2O, the NiII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and displays a slightly distorted octahedral geometry defined by two N atoms from two monodentate 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoate ligands and four water molecules, two of which also lie on the twofold rotation axis. In the crystal, the complex molecules and uncoordinated water molecules are linked via intermolecular O—HN and O—HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network. π–π interactions between the benzene rings provide additional stability of the crystal packing [centroid–centroid distance = 3.792 (2) Å].

In the title compound [systematic name: 7,8-dimethoxy-11-methyl-17,19-dioxa-11-azatetracyclo[12.7.0.04,9.016,20]henicosa-1(21),4,6,8,14,16 (20)-hexaen-2-ol], C21H25NO5, the benzene rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 23.16 (5)°. One of the methoxy C atoms is close to coplanar with its attached ring [deviation = 0.129 (3) Å], whereas the other is orientated away from the ring [deviation = −1.124 (2) Å]. The 10-membered ring is highly puckered, and the OH and CH3 substituents project to the same side of the ring. In the crystal, O—HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into [010] chains and C—HO and C—Hπ interactions consolidate the packing.
