Racemic cis-bis-[bis-(pyrimidin-2-yl)amine-κN]bis(dicyanamido-κN¹)iron(II) dihydrate: synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Fe(C₂N₃)₂(C₈H₇N₅)₂]·2H₂O, has been synthesized solvothermally and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The octa-hedral iron coordination polyhedron contains two di(pyrimidin-2-yl)amine ligands coordinated in a bidentate fashion, and two monodentate dicyanimido ligands, each coordinated via a terminal N atom, with the latter in a cis orientation. The ligand configuration about the iron atom is chiral, although the compound crystallizes as a racemic mixture: the Fe-N distances (> 2.07 Å) are characteristic of high-spin iron(II). In the crystal, an extensive series of N-H⋯N, O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds links the independent mol-ecular components into a th
