Abstract: The title compound (systematic name: aqua{2,2'-[propane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethylidene)]diphenolato}(thiocyanato)iron(III)), [Fe(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(NCS)(H₂O)], has been synthesized and characterized. It is a mononuclear compound. The Fe^III atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by two N and two O donors of L [L is the N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyphenylmethyleneimino)-1,3-diaminopropane anion] and one N atom from a thiocyanate anion, together with a water molecule. In the crystal structure, the molecules are held together by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains extending in the b direction.
