Poly[bis(₃-pyridine-2-carboxylato)iron(II)]

L.-J. Hao and T.-T. Liu

Abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C₆(CH₄N₄O₂)₂]_n, has been prepared by a hydrothermal reaction of iron(II) chloride and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid. The asymmetric unit contains one Fe^II atom and two pyridine-2-carboxylate anions. The Fe^II atoms are linked via bridging pyridine-2-carboxylate, yielding a layered structure. The coordination geometry about the Fe atom is distorted octahedral.
