In the title compound, [V(C7H3NO4)O(C10H8N2)]·C2H5OH, the VIV atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by two pyridyl N atoms of 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), the vanadyl O atom, and two carboxylate O atoms and one pyridyl N atom of the tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate (pydc2−) ligand. The pyridyl N atom of the pydc2− anion and one pyridyl N atom of bpy occupy the axial positions. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent molecule as donor and a carboxylate O atom as acceptor atoms, as well as C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, together with π–π stacking interactions between adjacent aromatic rings (average centroid–centroid distance = 3.577 Å), seem to be effective in the stabilization of the crystal packing, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional structure.

The Zn atom in the title salt, [ZnCl(C12H8N2)2(H2O)]Cl·C3H7NO, is chelated by two phenanthroline molecules and is bonded to one chloride ion and one water molecule, resulting in a ZnN4ClO octahedral coordination environment with the Cl and O atoms in a cis conformation. The cations and anions are linked by O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds across a center of inversion, forming a hydrogen-bonded dimeric association. The dimethylformamide solvent molecule is disordered over two orientations in a 0.56 (1):0.44 (1) ratio.

The title compound, [Co(C4H7N2O2)2Cl(C8H9NO2)]·CHCl3, was synthesized as a model complex of vitamin B12. The CoIII cation displays an approximately octahedral coordination environment, being displaced by 0.0240 (15) Å from the mean plane of the four N atoms of the equatorial plane. The O—H distances in the dimethylglyoximate hydroxy groups are 0.89 (6) and 1.14 (6) Å; such long O—H bonds are very common in cobaloxime derivatives. Weak classical O—H⋯N and non-classical C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions further consolidate the crystal packing.

In the title compound, [RuCl(C15H11N3)(C12H8N2O4)]ClO4·C2H5OH·H2O, the geometry of the ClN5 coordination set around the RuII atom is close to octahedral, but distorted on account of the limited bite angles of the polypyridyl ligands. The complexes are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups and the crystal lattice water molecules into chains along [110]. Face-to-face stacking interactions are formed between terpyridine ligands, with interplanar separations of 3.66 (1) and 3.42 (1) Å, and between bipyridine-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid ligands, with interplanar separations of 3.65 (1) and 3.72 (1) Å. Three O atoms of the perchlorate ion are each disordered equally over two positions. The hydroxy group of the ethanol molecule is also disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.794 (9) and 0.206 (9).
