The central CoII ion in the title complex, [Co(C16H19N5)2](NO3)2, is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octahedral coordination sphere. It is bonded to six N atoms from two 2-[bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]pyridine ligands. In the crystal, molecules are linked by weak C—HO interactions.

In the title complex, [Ni(C6H6N3O)(NCS)(C6H7N3O)(H2O)] or [Ni(mpko)(SCN)(mpkoH)(H2O)] [where mpkoH = 1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethanone oxime], the NiII cation is in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, being coordinated in the equatorial plane by four N atoms from two different mpkoH ligands, one of which is deprotonated, and by one N atom from a thiocyanate anion and one O atom from a water molecule in the axial positions. There is an intramolecular O—HO hydrogen bond involving the oxime units of the two ligands. In the crystal, a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture is formed by O—HO and O—HN hydrogen bonds.

The whole molecule of the title compound, C20H18N4O4, is generated by an inversion center. The benzimidazole ring mean plane make a dihedral angle of 89.4 (8)° with the plane passing through the acetate group (COO). In the crystal, molecules are linked via weak C—HO hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.743 (3) Å] involving inversion-related benzimidazole groups.
