The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn2(C6H6O7)2(H2O)4]·C12H10N2·2H2O, contains half of the centrosymmetric Mn complex dimer, half of a 1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethene molecule, which lies across an inversion center, and one water molecule. Two citrate ligands bridge two MnII ions, and each MnII atom is coordinated by four O atoms from the citrate ligands (one from hydroxy and three from carboxylate groups) and two water O atoms, forming a distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal, O—H
O and O—HN hydrogen bonds link the centrosymmetric dimers and lattice water molecules into a three-dimensional structure which is further stabilized by intermolecular π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.959 (2) Å]. Weak C—HO hydrogen bonding interactions are also observed.

The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, C18H40N4P+·Cl−·2H2O, consists of two ionic molecules and four water molecules. The molecular geometry around the pentacoordinate P atom is trigonal–bipyramidal, with a H atom and an apical N atom in axial positions and three N atoms with isobutyl substituents in equatorial positions. The Cl− ions and water molecules are connected via O—HCl hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [100]. The ethylene bridging groups are disordered with refined site-occupancy ratios of 0.578 (9):0.422 (9).
