Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₁₁H₁₃N₂O₃)₃]·1.5C₃H₇NO·2H₂O, the Fe^III ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration consisting of six donor O atoms from three bidentate ligands. The Fe complex crystallizes with two molecules of water and one and a half molecules of dimethylformamide (DMF). The three aminocarboxy groups (CONHCH₃) are all rotated out of the planes of their respective pyridinone rings. Intermolecular O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilization of the crystal structure.
