metal-organic compounds
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C9H8N)2[ZnCl4]·2H2O, consists of one quinolinium cation, one-half of the [ZnCl4]2− anion and one water molecule. The geometry around the Zn atom is approximately tetrahedral, with the Zn atom lying on a twofold axis. The water molecules hydrogen bond to the [ZnCl4]2− anions and the quinolinium cations, forming a two-dimensional network with the cations protruding on both sides of the network and stacking through π–π interactions with adjacent networks.

In the title compound, [Co(C15H18N5OS)2]BF4, the cation has a distorted octahedral geometry around the CoIII atom, with two 2,3-dimethyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde 4,4-dimethylthiosemicarbazonate anions coordinated as meridional tridentate ligands through the thiolate S, the antipyrine O and the imine N atoms. A tetrafluoroborate anion balances the charge of the CoIII complex.
