The AgI atom in the title compound, [Ag(NO3)(C10H20N4)2]·C2H5OH·H2O, is coordinated by the N atoms of two N-heterocycles [N—Ag—N = 151.5 (1)°]; the approximately linear coordination geometry is distorted into a T-shaped geometry owing to a long AgOnitrate bond [2.717 (4) Å]. The N atoms of the N-heterocycles that are not involved in coordination point towards the lattice water molecule, which functions as a hydrogen-bond donor. The water molecule itself is a hydrogen-bond acceptor towards the ethanol solvent molecule. Hydrogen bonds of the type N–HO give rise to a layer motif parallel to (001).

In the crystal of the title polymeric complex, [Ni2(C18H4O10)(C10H8N2)(H2O)8]n, each NiII cation is coordinated by four water molecules in the equatorial plane, and is further bridged by an 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylate anion and a 4,4′-bipyridine ligand in the axial directions, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. The 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylate anion is centrosymmetric with the centroid of the quinone ring located about an inversion center; the 4,4′-bipyridine ligand is also centrosymmetric with the mid-point of the C—C bond linking two pyridine rings located about another invertion center. The 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydroanthracene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxylate anion and bypiridine ligand bridge the NiII cations, forming a polymeric chain along the b axis. π–π stacking is observed between pyridine and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.705 (2) Å]. All of the coordinating water molecules are involved in O—HO hydrogen bonding.

In the cation of the title compound, C16H14N3+·Cl−·2H2O, the cyclohexa-1,3-diene ring displays a screw-boat conformation and the pyridine ring is slightly twisted with respect to the pyrazole ring with a dihedral angle of 4.56 (12)°. In the crystal, ions and water molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by classical N—HO, N—HCl, O—HCl and O—HO hydrogen bonds and by π–π stacking interactions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7580 (14) and 3.7794 (14) Å.
