Crystal structure of [tris-(4,4'-bi-pyridine)]-diium bis-(1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-eth-oxy-propenide) trihydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title hydrated salt, C₃₀H₂₆N₆²⁺·2C₉H₅N₄O^-·3H₂O, was obtained as an unexpected product from the hydro-thermal reaction between potassium 1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-eth-oxy-propenide, 4,4'-bi-pyridine and iron(II) sulfate hepta-hydrate. The cation lies across a twofold rotation axis in the space group I2/a with the other components all in general positions. In the cation, the H atom linking the pyridine units is disordered over two adjacent sites having occupancies of 0.66 (4) and 0.36 (4), i.e. as N-H⋯N and N⋯H-N. The water mol-ecules of crystallization are each disordered over two sets of atomic sites, having occupancies of 0.522 (6) and 0.478 (6) for one, and 0.34 (3) and
