Bis(isonicotinato)iron(II): a rare, neutral three-dimensional iron coordination polymer

Abstract

The reaction of iron(III) perchlorate with 4-pyridinecarbaldehyde under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions affords bis(isonicotinato)iron(II) 1, in which both pyridine and carboxylate groups coordinate to iron centers resulting in an unprecedented neutral, three-dimensional polymeric network with a carboxylate-bridged Fe–Fe infinite chain.

7. The four carbon atoms on the isonicotinate ring are disordered, and have been successfully modeled with two mutually perpendicular sets (C1, C2, C4, C5, and C7, C8, C10, C11) with partial occupancies [0.508(3) and 0.492(3)]. Only one of the two orientations (C1, C2, C4, C5) is shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
