Figure 2 Polyhedral presentation of the crystal structure of K2[FeII3(H2O)2(P2O7)2], (a) zigzag edge-sharing iron octa­hedral chain is built from FeO6 and FeO5(H2O) octa­hedra by sharing their trans- or skew-edges running along [010]; (b) P2O7 groups act as a bidentate ligand to link FeO6-based chains along [001] to form a corrugated iron diphosphate layer [Fe3(P2O7)2(H2O)2]2–; (c) the iron diphosphate layers stack along [100] in AAA fashion with the potassium atoms locating at the inter­layer space; (d) the K atom is 8-coordinated to seven oxygen atoms and a H2O mol­ecule coming from adjacent iron diphosphate layers to form an irregular polyhedron. Purple octa­hedron: FeO6, orange tetra­hedron: PO4, light grey sphere: K atom, dark grey sphere: H atom.
