The asymmetric unit of the title salt, 2C6H5CH2NH3+·H2P2O72−, contains two independent benzylammonium cations and a dihydrogen diphosphate dianion. In the crystal, O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (010). Within this network, weak C—HO hydrogen bonds are observed.

In the title hydrated salt, [Co(C12H8N2)3]2[PVW11O40]·2H2O, the complete Kegggin ion is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry, which imposes statistical disorder on the O atoms of its central PO4 group. The V atom is statistically disordered over all the metal sites of the anion. In the cation, the Co2+ ion is coordinated by three bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands, generating a distorted CoN6 octahedron. Possible very weak intramolecular C—Hπ interactions occur in the cation. In the crystal, the components are linked by O—HO and C—HO interactions, building a three-dimensional network featuring one-dimensional voids along the c-axis direction.

In the title hydrate, (C4H12N2)[Co{B6O7(OH)6}2]·6H2O, both the dication and dianion are generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The Co2+ ion in the dianion adopts a fairly regular CoO6 octahedral coordination geometry arising from the two O,O′,O′′-tridentate ligands. In the crystal, the dianions and water molecules are linked by O—HO hydrogen bonds, generating a framework with large [100] channels, which are occupied by the organic dications. N—HO and C—HO hydrogen bonds consolidate the structure.
