The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C7H5O3)2(C6H6NO)2(H2O)2]·2[Cd(C7H5O3)2(C6H6NO)(H2O)2]·4H2O, consists of two kinds of CdII complexes (A and B) and lattice water molecules. In complex A, [Cd(C7H5O3)2(C6H6NO)2(H2O)2], the CdII cation is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by two salicylate anions, two nicotinamide (NA) ligands and two water molecules in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. In complex B, [Cd(C7H5O3)2(C6H6NO)(H2O)2], the CdII cation is coordinated by two salicylate anions, one nicotinamide (NA) ligand and two water molecules in an irregular seven-coordinate geometry. There are extensive intramolecular O—HO and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds as well as extensive intermolecular O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonding in the crystal structure. π–π stacking between the pyridine and benzene rings, between the benzene rings, between the benzene and pyridine rings and between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5989 (10), 3.6005 (10), 3.5800 (9) and 3.5205 (10) Å, respectively] further stabilize the crystal structure. A weak N—Hπ interaction also occurs. One of the lattice water molecules is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.70:0.30.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Zn(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)4](C7H5O3)2·4H2O, contains half of the complex cation with the ZnII ion located on an inversion center, a 3-hydroxybenzoate counter-anion and two uncoordinating water molecules. Four water O atoms in the equatorial plane around the ZnII ion [Zn—O = 2.089 (2) and 2.128 (2) Å] form a slightly distorted square-planar arrangement and the distorted octahedral geometry is completed by the two N atoms [Zn—N = 2.117 (2) Å] from two isonicotinamide ligands. In the anion, the carboxylate group is twisted from the attached benzene ring at 9.0 (2)°. In the crystal, a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network, formed by classical O—HO and N—HO and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, consolidates the crystal packing, which exhibits π–π stacking between the benzene and pyridine rings, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.458 (2) and 3.609 (2) Å. One of the two H atoms of each uncoordinating water molecule is disordered over two orientations with an occupancy ratio of 0.60:0.40.

The title compound, C16H17NOS2, consists of a carbazole skeleton with methyl and dithiolane groups as substituents. In the indole ring system, the benzene and pyrrole rings are nearly coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 1.02 (11)°. The cyclohexenone ring has a twisted conformation, while the dithiolane ring adopts an envelope conformation with one of the CH2 C atoms at the flap. In the crystal, weak C—HO hydrogen bonds link the molecules into supramolecular chains nearly parallel to the c axis. These hydrogen bonds together with weak C—Hπ interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
