Abstract
In the title compound, [Fe(C6H2N2O4)(C18H10N4)(H2O)]n, the FeII ion adopts a slightly distorted octahedral mer-FeN3O3 geometry, arising from one N,N′-bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine ligand, one N,O-chelating pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylate dianion and one water molecule. An O-bonded symmetry-related dianion completes the coordination of the metal. The bridging dianion results in a one-dimensional polymeric chain. Aromatic π–π stacking interactions between ligands [centroid–centroid separations = 3.528 (2) and 3.741 (2) Å] and O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds link the chains together, leading to a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
