In the title compound, (C5H7N2)2[Ni(H2O)6](SO4)2, the NiII cation is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by six aqua ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The [Ni(H2O)6]2+ ions are connected through an extensive network of O—HO hydrogen bonds to sulfate anions, leading to the formation of layers parallel to (001). The 4-aminopyridinium cations are located between these layers and are connected to the anionic framework by N—HO hydrogen bonds. Weak π–π interactions between the pyridine rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.754 (9) Å, provide additional stability to the crystal packing.

In the organic/inorganic salt hydrate, 6C7H9ClN+·P6O186−·2H2O, the cyclohexaphosphate anion resides on an inversion centre. The asymmetric unit consists of three cations, one half-anion and a water molecule. In the crystal, the water molecules and the [P6O18]6− anions are linked by O—HO hydrogen bonds, generating infinite layers parallel to the ab plane. These layers are interconnected by the organic cations through N—HO hydrogen bonds.
