Abstract: Polymeric [Fe₂{MoO₄}₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]_n adopts a chain structure that propagates linearly along the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell. The (C₁₂H₈N₂)Fe moiety lies on a mirror plane, as does the MoO₄ moiety; two MoO₄ anions link two (C₁₂H₈N₂)Fe entities to form an eight-membered Fe-O-Mo-O-Fe-O-Mo-O- ring; the Fe atom is five-coordinate in a trigonal bipyramidal environment; the phenanthroline ligand spans the axial-equatorial sites.
