Bis[N-(pyridin-2-ylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato-κ3N,N′,N′′]iron(III) tris(cyanido-κC)[N-(pyridin-2-ylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato-κ3N,N′,N′′]ferrate(III) monohydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C12H8N3O2)2][Fe(C12H8N3O2)(CN)3]·H2O, the Fe3+ ions in the cation and anion each lie in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The solvent water molecule is disordered over three positions with occupancies of 0.401 (7), 0.322 (7) and 0.277 (6). The water content was confirmed by thermogravimetric data.
