In the title compound, (C5H6N)[Fe(NCS)4(C5H5N)2]·4C5H3N3·C5H5N, the FeIII ion is located on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by four N atoms of the thiocyanate ligands and two pyridine N atoms in a trans arrangement, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. A half-occupied H atom attached to a pyridinium cation forms an N—HN hydrogen bond with a centrosymmetrically-related pyridine unit. Four pyrazine-2-carbonitrile molecules crystallize per complex anion. In the crystal, π–π stacking interactions are present [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6220 (9), 3.6930 (9), 3.5532 (9), 3.5803 (9) and 3.5458 (8) Å].

The title compound, C14H16N6O2, is a second monoclinic polymorph of 2-[1-(3,5-dimethyl)pyrazolyl]-2-hydroxyimino-N′-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene] acetohydrazide, with two crystallographically independent molecules per asymmetric unit. The non-planar molecules are chemically equal having similar geometric parameters. The previously reported polymorph [Plutenko et al. (2012). Acta Cryst. E68, o3281] was described in space group Cc (Z = 4). The oxime group and the O atom of the amide group are anti with respect to the C—C bond. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—HN hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains extending along the b axis.
