Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C₈H₄O₄)(C₃H₇NO)]_n, the Fe^II atom and the terephthalate group occupy special positions of 2/m site symmetry. The Fe^II atom is octahedrally coordinated: two O atoms of two dimethylformamide molecules occupy the axial positions, and the equatorial sites are occupied by the carboxylate O atoms of four different terephthalate groups. The compound adopts a polymeric three-dimensional framework structure. The C and N atoms of the dimethylformamide ligand are disordered equally over two sites each, with further disorder of the H atoms.
