trans -Bis(quinoline-8-amine-κ 2 N , N ')bis-(1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-meth-oxy-propenido-κ N )iron(II)

The title compound, [Fe(C H N O) (C H N ) ], was synthesized solvothermally. The complex exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Fe ion is located on an inversion centre. The octa-hedral FeN coordination sphere is composed of bidentate quinoline-8-amine in the equatorial sites while the axial sites are occupied by 1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-meth-oxy-propenide anions. The crystal structure features hydrogen bonds parallel to the crystallographic axis and parallel to (110).
