Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, Fe(C₉H₁₁N₂O₃)₃·2C₃H₇NO, the Fe^III ion is six-coordinate with a distorted octahedral configuration consisting of six donor O atoms from three bidentate ligands. Two of the amide NH groups are involved in intramolecular N-HO_p (p = phenolic) hydrogen bonds, while the third is involved in forming centrosymmetric dimers via intermolecular N-HO_p hydrogen bonds.
