Abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C₁₂H₆O₄)]_n, the Fe^II atom is coordinated by six O atoms from six symmetrically equivalent naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands in a strongly distorted octahedral geometry. These octahedra are connected via common edges into chains that elongate along the a axis, with FeFe distances of 2.9712 (4) and 2.9724 (4) Å. The chains are linked via the naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands into a three-dimensional coordination network.
