Abstract: The molecular structure of the neutral mononuclear complex [Fe(NCS)₂(3-bpo)₂(H₂O)₂], in which 3-bpo denotes 2,5-di-3-pyridyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (C₁₂H₈N₄O), is centrosymmetric, with Fe^II located on an inversion center. This complex is octahedral, and the Fe^II atom is trans coordinated by two monodentate NSC^- ligands, two monodentate 3-bpo ligands and two water molecules. Each complex is linked to four others, forming a (011) sheet, by O-HN hydrogen bonding. Weak C-HS interactions link each (011) sheet to the two adjacent sheets, hence forming a three-dimensional array. There is also some slipped stacking within each sheet.
