The title complex, [Cu{μ3-O2CC6H3(NO2)2-3,5}(μ-OH)]n, features zigzag chains in which successive pairs of CuII atoms are connected by OH bridges and bidentate carboxylate ligands, leading to six-membered Cu(O)(OCO)Cu rings. The zigzag chains are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by Cu—O(nitro) bonds. The coordination geometry of the CuII atom is square-pyramidal, with the axial position occupied by the nitro O atom, which forms the longer Cu—O bond. Bifurcated hydroxy–nitro O—HO hydrogen bonds contribute to the stability of the crystal structure.

The molecule of the title complex, [Ni2(C21H15N3O5)2(H2O)4]·4C3H7NO, is located on an inversion centre. This results in a dimeric NiII complex, with the two NiII atoms bridged by phenolate O atoms. The tridentate ligand is chelated to each NiII atom via one N and two O atoms of the iminolate form of the hydrazide moiety, which has the same conformation as the free ligand. The coordination geometry around each NiII ion is slightly distorted octahedral. A supramolecular three-dimensional architecture is created by dominant intermolecular O—HN, O—HO and C—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions. These are augmented by two C—Hπ interactions and a π–π interaction with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.681 (2) Å.

In the title compound, C8H7N3O4 (systematic name: 4-nitrobenzene-1,2-dicarboxamide), each of the substituents is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is attached [dihedral angles of 11.36 (2)° for the nitro group, and 60.89 (6) and 34.39 (6)° for the amide groups]. The amide groups are orientated to either side of the least-squares plane through the benzene ring with the amine groups being directed furthest apart. In the crystal, a three-dimensional architecture is established by a network of N—HO hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C8H3N3O2 (systematic name: 4-nitrobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile), the nitro group is twisted out of the plane of the benzene ring to which it is attached [O—N—Cring—Cring torsion angle = 9.80 (13)°]. In the crystal packing, supramolecular layers with a zigzag topology in the ac plane are sustained by C—HN interactions.

The asymmetric unit of the title cyclic thiourea derivative, C10H12N2S, comprises two molecules, each of which has a twist about the CH2—CH2 bond within the five-membered ring. The major difference between the independent molecules is manifested in the relative orientations of the five- and six-membered rings [dihedral angles between the least-squares planes = 28.03 (11) and 41.54 (11)°]. A network of C—Hπ interactions consolidates the three-dimensional crystal packing.
