In the title compound {(C3H5N2)[Na(NO3)2]}n, the NaI ion is coordinated by eight O atoms from three bidentate nitrate anions and two O atoms from two monodentate nitrate anions, displaying a bicapped trigonal–prismatic geometry. The imidazolium cation is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.0018 Å). In the crystal, the NaI ions are connected by bridging nitrate ligands, forming layers parallel to (010). The imidazolium cations are sandwiched between these layers. Weak C—H
O hydrogen bonds link the layers into a three-dimensional network. In addtion, π–π interactions between the imidazolium rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.588 (3) Å] are observed.

The crystal structure of the title compound, {[Ba(C4HO4)2(H2O)5]·H2O}n, consists of discrete double chains propagating along [010]. The chains are formed by BaII ions linked by bridging hydrogen squarate ligands in a trans-bis-monodentate mode. In addition, the bridging hydrogen squarate ligands connect the chains into a ladder structure via a third coordinating O atom. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by five aqua ligands and a second mondendate hydrogen squarate ligand, forming a slightly distorted tricapped trigonal–prismatic geometry. O—HO hydrogen bonds link the chains and solvent water molecules into a three-dimensional network.
