In the title compound, [Mn(N(3))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the Mn atom (site symmetry ) is bonded to two azide ions and two bidentate biimidizole ligands, resulting in a slightly distorted octa-hedral MnN(6) geometry for the metal ion. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds help to consolidate the packing.

In the title compound, [Cu(C(4)H(2)BrO(4))(2)(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)], the central Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral geometry by four N atoms from two chelating biimidazole mol-ecules in the equatorial plane and two O atoms from two 2-bromo-fumarate ligands in the axial positions. O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(4)O(4), the two imidazole rings adopt a trans conformation and are inclined to one another at a dihedral angle of 55.64 (4)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to [010] and layers are formed from these by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Additional C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds prod...

There are independent cations and four chloride anions in the crystal structure of the title complex, [Co(C(6)H(6)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]Cl(2). In each cation, the Co(II) cation is coordinated by four N atoms from two biimidazole and two O atoms of two water mol-ecules; one Co atom is at a position of site symmetry m, the other at a position of site symmetry 2/m. All Cl(-) ions and water mol-ecules...
