In the title compound, {[Zn2(C6H14N2O2)2(C10H8N2)3](NO3)4·0.6H2O·2C3H7NO}n, the ZnII ion is six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometry by two carboxylate O atoms and one amino N atom from two L-lysinate (L-lys) ligands, and three N atoms from three 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) ligands. The ZnII ions are connected by the carboxylate groups of the L-lys ligands in the a-axis direction and the bridging 4,4′-bipy ligands in the b- and c-axis directions, forming a three-dimensional cationic framework with channels along [100]. The nitrate anions and solvent water and dimethylformamide (DMF) molecules are located in the channels and linked to the cationic framework by N—HO and O—HO hydrogen bonds. The occupancy of the water molecule was fixed at 0.6. One of the DMF molecules is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.632:0.368 (11).

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric complex, [Cd2(C13H7NO4)(OH)2]n, consists of two independent CdII atoms, one 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate ligand and two hydroxy groups. One CdII atom is six-coordinated by two O atoms from two ligand molecules and by four μ3-OH groups in a distorted trigonal–prismatic geometry. The other is five-coordinated by one N and two O atoms from two ligands and by two μ3-OH groups, forming a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The two independent CdII atoms are connected by the ligand molecules and the OH groups into a three-dimensional framework. O—HO hydrogen bonds between the OH groups and the carboxylate O atoms are observed.
