Tetra-n-butylammonium tricyanido[N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]ferrate(III) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title compound, (C16H36N)[Fe(C12H8N3O2)(CN)3]·2H2O, the tetra-n-butylammonium ion has a tetrahedral configuration around the N atom, while the FeIII atom of the tricyanido[N-(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboximidato]iron(III) anion adopts a distorted octahedral geometry. O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds link the components in the crystal structure.
