Abstract: In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear iron(II) compound, [Fe₂(C₁₂H₈N₅)₂(NCS)₂(CH₄O)₂], the deprotonated 3,5-di-2-pyridyl-1,2,4-triazole ligand uses a pair of N_pyridyl/N_triazolyl atoms to chelate one metal atom and the other pair of N_pyridyl/N_triazolyl atoms to chelate the other metal atom. Each Fe atom is octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms surrounding the metal center in a square-planar environment. Above and below this plane are located the N atom of the thiocyanate anion and the O atom of the methanol molecule. Intermolecular O-HN hydrogen bonding gives rise to a layer motif.
