In the title complex, [Fe(NCS)2(C18H18N4)], the FeII cation is chelated by a tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligand and coordinated by two thiocyanate anions in a distorted N6 octahedral geometry. In the crystal, weak C—HS hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between parallel pyridine rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.653 (3) Å] link the molecules into a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture. The structure contains voids of 124 (9) Å3, which are free of solvent molecules.

In the title compound, C12H6N2O2·C2H5OH, the molecule of the 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.051 (1) Å. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—HN and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular chains propagating along [110]. π–π stacking interactions are observed between the pyridine rings of neighbouring chains, the centroid–centroid separations being 3.6226 (11) and 3.7543 (11) Å.

In the title compound, C20H13N5O2, the two pyrazine rings are nearly coplanar with the central pyridine ring, forming dihedral angles of 2.21 (9) and 4.57 (9)°. In contrast, the strong steric hindrance caused by the ortho-carboxyl group on the phenyl ring makes this ring rotate out of the attached pyridine ring plane by 52.60 (9)°. The carboxyl group is twisted from the phenyl ring by 22.6 (1)°. In the crystal, aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.9186 (4) and 3.9794 (5) Å] occur between the antiparallel molecules, generating infinite chains along [100]. O—HO hydrogen bonds connect the chains, leading to the formation of a two-dimensional supramolecular network parallel to (010). Intermolecular C—HN hydrogen bonds are also observed.
