In the title compound, [Ni(HCOO)2(C7H8N2O)2], the Ni atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two oxime ligands and by two O atoms from two formate ions in a distorted octahedral geometry, with the oxime-N atoms mutually trans. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular O—HO hydrogen bonds.

In the centrosymmetric title coordination compound, [Er2{Fe(C5H5)(C6H4O2)}6(CH3OH)2(H2O)2]·2CH3OH, the two ErIII ions are bridged by two ferrocenecarboxylate anions as asymmetrically bridging ligands, leading to dimeric cores. The ErIII ion has a distorted dodecahedral coordination with six coordinating O atoms derived from the ferrocenecarboxylate ligands and two coordinated O atoms from one water molecule and one methanol molecule. The asymmetric unit comprises a half of the complex molecule and a methanol solvent molecule. Intramolecular O—HO and C—HO interactions occur. In the crystal, molecules are linked by intermolecular O—HO hydrogen bonds and C—HO as well as C—Hπ interactions.
