Tetraaquabis(2-{[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]sulfanyl}acetato)iron(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Fe(C9H6N3O3S)2(H2O)4] or [Fe(POA)2(H2O)4], the FeII atom is located on an inversion center and is ligated by four O atoms of coordinated water molecules in the equatorial plane while two POA ligands acting as monodentate ligands occupy the axial positions through their pyridyl N atoms, completing a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is formed by multiple O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the coordinated water donors and the uncoordinated carboxyl acceptors.
