The title compound, [Yb(C5HF6O2)2(C20H14N4)(H2O)]Cl·CH3OH·H2O, adopts an eight-coordinated geometry around the YbIII atom consisting of a 4′-(4-pyridyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (pytpy) ligand, two 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate (hfac) anions and an aqua ligand. In the solid state, the compound forms supramolecular chains running along the b-axis via intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the Yb—OH2 unit and the N-atom donor of the 4-pyridyl pendant of pytpy, with an ON distance of 2.686 (4) Å. A chloride counter-anion and lattice methanol and water solvent molecules occupy a hydrophilic columnar space along the coordination chains. O—HCl hydrogen bonds occur. The two water molecules and the four trifluoromethyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites, each with different occupancy ratios.

In the title hydrated molecular salt, (C7H7N2S)2[Zn(C8H8O5)2]·6H2O, which is isotypic with its MnII, CoII and NiII analogues, the Zn2+ ion lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and a distorted ZnO6 octahedral coordination geometry arises from the two doubly deprotonated O,O′,O′′-tridentate ligands. In the crystal, the components are linked by N—HOa, N—HOw, Ow—HOa and Ow—HOw hydrogen bonds (w = water and a = anion).

In the title compound, C10H14NO4+·Cl−, the benzene ring makes a dihedral angle of 64.68 (4)° with the methylaminopropanoate unit, which is bonded to the catechol ring via a methylene C atom. A strong intramolecular O—HO hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, O—HO, N—HCl and O—HCl hydrogen bonds and weak C—HO interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
