Tetraaquabis(pyridine-3-carboxylato-N)iron(II)

Y. Liang, W. Li and B.-J. Guo

Abstract: Pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (nicH) reacts with iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate in a methanol-water mixture to form the title compound, [Fe(C₆H₄NO₂)₂(H₂O)₄]. The Fe^II atom is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-HO hydrogen bonds involving all the water H atoms and the carboxylate groups.
