In the title compound, [CoBr(CH5N)(C3H10N2)2]Br2, the cobaltIII ion has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and is surrounded by four N atoms in the equatorial plane, with an additional N atom and the Br atom occupying the axial positions. In the crystal, the complex cation and the two counter anions are linked via N—HBr and C—HBr hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.

The whole molecule of the title compound, [NiCl2(C3H4N2)2(NH3)2], is generated by inversion symmetry. The NiII ion, which is located on an inversion center, has a distorted octahedral coordination environment and is surrounded by two ammine N atoms and two Cl atoms in the equatorial plane, with two N atoms of two imidazole groups occupying the axial positions. The imidazole ring makes a dihedral angle of 81.78 (18)° with the Ni/N/Cl equatorial plane. In the crystal, molecules are linked via N—HCl hydrogen bonds and C—Hπ interactions, forming a three-dimensional network.
