In the title compound, [Cd2(C7H3NO4)2(C13H8N4)2(H2O)2], the CdII ion is six-coordinated by two N atoms from a 1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline (IP) ligand, one N atom and one O atom from a pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate (pdc) ligand, one O atom from another pdc ligand and one water molecule in a distorted octahedral geometry. Two CdII ions are bridged by a pair of pdc ligands, forming a centrosymmetric dinuclear structure. Neighboring dinuclear units are linked by the coordinated water molecules through O—HN and O—HO hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to (011). The layers are further linked into a three-dimensional network through N—HO hydrogen bonds. π–π interactions between the IP ligands further stabilize the supramolecular structure [centroid–centroid distances = 3.579 (3), 3.686 (3), 3.710 (3), 3.766 (3) and 3.841 (3) Å].

In the title complex, [V(C15H12N2O4)(C2H5O)O], the VV ion is coordinated by an oxide O atom, an ethanolate anion and two O atoms and one N atom from the tridentate benzohydrazidate dianion in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry; the V atom is displaced by 0.4748 (8) Å from the basal plane towards the axial oxide O atom. An intramolecular O—HN hydrogen bond occurs in the benzohydrazidate ligand. Weak intermolecular C—HO hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal.
