In the title inorganic–organic hybrid compound, [Cu2V4O12(C3H4N2)8]n, the VV ion is tetracoordinated by four O atoms and the CuII ion is hexacoordinated by four N atoms from four imidazole ligands and two O atoms from two tetrahedral vanadate (VO4) units in a distorted octahedral geometry. The structure consists of two-dimensional sheets constructed from centrosymmetric cyclic [V4O12]4− anions covalently bound through O to [Cu(imidazole)4]2+ cations. Adjacent sheets are linked by N—HO hydrogen bonds and weak C—Hπ interactions (Hcentroid distances = 2.59, 2.66, 2.76, 2.91 and 2.98 Å into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.

In the title compound, [Mn(NO3)2(C12H8N2)2], the MnII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis, and is six-coordinated in a distorted trans-N4O2 octahedral environment by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from two nitrate anions. The nitrate anion is disordered about a twofold rotation axis with fixed occupancy factors of 0.5. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—HO hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 4.088 (5) Å] into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
