In the title complex, {[Ni2(C14H4N2O8)(H2O)6]·2H2O}n, the two NiII atoms are located in different special positions (one on a twofold rotation axis and the second on a centre of symmetry) and have different distorted octahedral environments (one by two N atoms from a bipyridine unit, two O atoms from two water molecules and two O atoms from two carboxylate groups, and the second by four O atoms from four water molecules and two O atoms from two carboxylate groups). Thus, the environments of the NiII atoms may be denoted as NiN2O4 and NiO6. In the crystal, there exists an extensive network of classical O—HO hydrogen bonds.

The complete molecule of the title complex, [Co(C14H9Br2FNO)2], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the CoII atom lying on the rotation axis. The coordination of the metal atom by the two N,O-bidentate ligands results in a squashed CoN2O2 tetrahedron. The six-membered chelate ring is an envelope, with the metal atom as the flap. The dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings within each ligand is 84.1 (6)°.

In the title Schiff base complex, [Zn(C14H9Br2FNO)2], the ZnII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two O and two N atoms from two symmetry-related bidentate Schiff base ligands in a compressed tetrahedral geometry. The bond lengths and bond angles are within normal ranges. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of the aromatic rings within each ligand is 82.76 (17)°.
