Crystal structure of di-aqua-bis-(4-cyano-pyridine-κN)bis-(thio-cyanato-κN)iron(II) 4-cyano-pyridine disolvate.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(NCS)₂(C₆H₄N₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2C₆H₄N₂, comprises one Fe^II cation occupying an inversion centre as well as one thio-cyanate anion, one water mol-ecule and two 4-cyano-pyridine mol-ecules in general positions. The iron cations are coordinated by two N-bonded thiocyanate anions, two (pyridine)N-bonded 4-cyano-pyridine ligands and two water mol-ecules into discrete complexes. The resulting coordination polyhedron can be described as a slightly distorted octa-hedron. The discrete complexes are connected through centrosymmetric pairs of (pyridine)C-H⋯N(cyano) hydrogen bonds into chains that are further linked into a three-dimensional netw
