The structure of the title compound, [Mn(NCS)2(C6H8N2)4], consists of isolated molecules of [Mn(NCS)2(Aim)4] (Aim = 1-allylimidazole), which contain a compressed octahedral MnN6 chromophore (site symmetry 
). The NCS− anions are trans and four N atoms from the Aim ligands define the equatorial plane. The mean Mn—N(Aim) and Mn—N(NCS) distances are 2.270 and 2.229 Å, respectively. Weak C—H
N interactions contribute to the crystal packing stability.

In the title compound, [Co(C5H4NO3)2(H2O)2]·2H2O, the coordination polyhedron around the six-coordinate CoII ion is formed by two equatorial 5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxylate ligands in an N,O3-bidentate fashion through the isoxazole N atom and a carboxylate O atom, and by two axial water ligands. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the complex and one water molecule (the full comlex being completed by application of inversion). In the crystal, the water molecules participate in the formation of an intricate three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated water molecule and the carboxylate groups.
