In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Co(C4H11N2)2(H2O)4](SO4)2·2H2O, the CoII atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by four water O atoms and two piperazinium N atoms. These four water O atoms define an equatorial plane with a maximum deviation of 0.0384 (1) Å while the two piperazinium N atoms complete the octahedron in the axial positions. Neighboring complex molecules and sulfate anions are connected through an extensive network of N—HO and O—HO hydrogen bonds, which link the different chemical species into layers in the ab plane. Additional Owater—HO hydrogen bonds involving the non-coordinating water molecules and C—HO interactions connect these layers into a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.

In the title organic–inorganic hybrid compound, (C5H7N2)2[ReVW4O19]·7H2O, the Lindqvist-type polyoxido anion has crystallographically imposed mm2 symmetry and is built up by six MO6 (M = W, V, Re) edge-sharing distorted octahedra. The Re and V atoms share the same crystallographic site in a 0.5:0.5 ratio. The 4-aminopyridinium cations lie on a mirror plane. Three of the four independent water O atoms in the asymmetric unit are located on a mirror plane whereas the remaining O atom has mm2 site symmetry. In the crystal, the cations, anions and water molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network through O—HO and N—HO hydrogen-bonding interactions.
