Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₁₁H₉O₂N₂)₂]BF₄·3H₂O, contains two independent bis[di-2-pyridyl(hydroxy)methanolato-³O,N,N')]iron(III) cations, with the Fe atom occupying a special position of symmetry in each case; the Fe atom is O,N,N'-chelated by the anionic ligands in an octahedral geometry. The cation, the disordered BF₄^- counter-ion and the uncoordinated water molecules interact via hydrogen bonds to form a sheet motif.
