Abstract: The structure of the title compound, (C₁₂H₉N₂)[Na(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)][Fe(CN)₅(NO)]·H₂O, is built up from Fe^II-containing anions, Na⁺-containing cations, non-coordinated 1,10-phenanthrolinium (Hphen) cations and water molecules. The sodium cation is coordinated to two N,N'-bidentate phen ligands and one water molecule in approximate square-based pyramidal geometry, with the O atom occupying the axial site. The non-coordinated Hphen and water molecules link the metal complexes through O-HN and N-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
