Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₁₁H₁₀N₂O₂)₂]NO₃·2H₂O, is the first reported iron(III) complex containing the hydrated form of di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk-hydrate) as a ligand. Fe atoms reside on inversion centers in the triclinic cell and each cation has a distorted octahedral environment, which is typical of bis(dpk-hydrate)-transition metal complexes.
