Z.-Y. Hou and D.-M. Zhu

Abstract: In the title complex, (C₁₈H₂₀N₄)[Fe(C₇O₄H₃N)₂]₂·2CH₄O, the Fe atom exists in an approximately octahedral geometry, chelated by two pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligands. Extensive hydrogen bonding among the carboxylate groups, the 1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium ion and solvent methanol molecules as well as - stacking are present in the structure.
