In the binuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [In2(C7H3NO4)2(C7H4NO4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O, which contains both pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate and 3-carboxypyridine-2-carboxylate ligands, the InIII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry. One pyridine ligand is N,O-chelated while the other is N,O-chelated and at the same time bridging to the other via the second carboxyl group. In the crystal, an extensive O—HO hydrogen-bonding network, involving the coordinated and lattice water molecules and the carboxyl groups of the ligands, together with C—HO and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.793 (1) Å], leads to the formation of a three-dimensional structure.

In the title compound, (C5H7N2)[Fe(C7H3NO4)2] or [2-apyH][Fe(pydc)2], the asymmetric unit contains an [Fe(pydc)2]− (pydc is pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate) anion and a protonated 2-aminopyridine cation ([2-apyH]+). The complex anion contains an FeIII atom within a distorted octahedral FeN2O4 coordination geometry. N—HO and C—HO hydrogen bonding, offset π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distance = 3.805 (13) Å] and C=Oπ interactions [3.494 (14) Å] generate a three-dimensional network structure.

In the title compound, (C13H11N2)2[Zn(C7H3NO4)2]·3H2O, the ZnII ion is six-coordinated with the N4O2 donor set being a distorted octahedron through two almost perpendicular (r.m.s. deviation of ligand atoms from the mean plane is 0.057 Å) tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligands [dihedral angle between the ligands = 86.06 (4)°]. The charge is compensated by two 9-aminoacridinium cations protonated on the ring N atom. A variety of intermolecular contacts, such as ion–ion, N—HO and O—HO hydrogen bonds, and π–π stacking [centroid–centroid distances = 3.4907 (9)–4.1128 (8) Å], between cations and between anions, play important roles in the formation of the three-dimensional network.

The title compound, [HgCl2(C4H5N3)]n, features a two-dimensional network parallel to (001) that is based on an HgII atom octahedrally coordinated by four μ2-Cl atoms and two μ2-2-aminopyrimidine (apym) ligands in trans positions, yielding a distorted HgCl4N2 octahedron. The coordination network can be described as an uninodal 4-connected net with the sql topology. The HgII ion lies on a site of -1 symmetry and the apym ligand lies on sites of m symmetry with the mirror plane perpendicular to the pyrimidine plane and passing through the NH2 group N atom. This polymeric structure is stabilized by N—HCl hydrogen bonds and columnar π–π stacking of pyrimidine rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.832 (2) Å.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C13H11N2)[Fe(C7H3NO4)2]·4H2O, contains a 9-aminoacridinium cation, one anionic complex and four uncoordinated water molecules. In the anionic complex, the FeIII ion is six-coordinated by two almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 88.78 (7)°] pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, anions are connected into chains along [10-1] by weak C—HO interactions, which create ten-membered hydrogen-bonded R22(10) rings. These chains are linked by three-membered water clusters. The final three-dimensional network is constructed by numerous intermolecular O—HO and N—HO interactions.

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, (C6H8N)2[Cu(C7H3NO4)2]·6H2O, contains half a copper(II)–dipicolinate complex located on a twofold rotation axis, one protonated aniline molecule and three solvent water molecules. The CuII atom is coordinated by four O atoms and two N atoms from two dipicolinate ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional framework by intermolecular O—HO and N—HO interactions.
