In the title compound, [Cr(C7H2N2O7)Cl(C12H8N2)(H2O)], the CrIII atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with the chelating phenantroline and 3,5-dinitrosalicylate ligands in trans positions. In the crystal, molecules are connected via O—HO hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional framework parallel to (100). In addition, there are π–π stacking interactions between phenanthroline ligands along the c axis, with a mean interplanar distance of 3.456 (4) Å.

In the title compound, (C12H12N2)[Ta2F10O], the doubly protonated 5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenantroline-1,10-diium cation is located on a twofold rotation axis, whereas the isolated [Ta2OF10]2− dianion has -1 symmetry. In the so far unknown dianion, the symmetry-related TaV atoms are octahedrally coordinated by five F atoms and a bridging O atom, the latter being located on an inversion centre. The two pyridine rings in the cation make a dihedral angle of 22.8 (4)°. The cations and dianions are arranged in layers parallel to (100) and are connected through N—HF and C—HF hydrogen-bonding interactions into a three-dimensional structure.
