The CdII atom in the title complex, [Cd(C12H27O3SSi)2(C3H4N2)], is penta-coordinated by two O and two S atoms from the O,S-chelating silanethiolate residue and one pyrazole N atom in a distorted geometry that is slightly closer to trigonal–bipyramidal than to square-based pyramidal. The pyrazole ligand is stabilized within the complex by an intramolecular N—HO hydrogen bond. One of the tert-butyl groups is disordered over two orientations with occupancy ratio of 0.534 (6):0.466 (6).

The CuII ion in the title molecular salt, [CuBr(C5H8N2)4]Br, is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by four N atoms of imidazole ligands and one bromide anion in the apical position. In the crystal, the ions are linked by N—HBr hydrogen bonds involving both the coordinating and the free bromide species as acceptors. A C—HBr interaction is also observed. Overall, a three-dimensional network results.
