Deskripsi
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe2(C5H9O2)4(C6H7N)2], contains one unique Fe-atom site located close to a centre of symmetry which generates the molecular dimer. The two Fe atoms are bridged by four carboxylate groups and are each coordinated by a molecule of 2-picoline. Electron counting and the 18-electron rule suggest that a chemical single bond is likely to exist between the two Fe atoms, which are separated by a distance of 2.8576 (4) Å. This bond completes an approximately octahedral coordination environment around each Fe atom.
