Description
Summary:In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(C6H4NO2)2]n, one nicotinate group O,O′-chelates one Fe atom and binds through the N atom to the other Fe atom; the second nicotinate group bridges three Fe atoms through the N and two O atoms. The μ2- and μ3-bridging modes of the two nicotinate groups result in a polymeric three-dimensional network structure. The Fe atom shows octahedral coordination geometry but one of the Fe—O bonds is somewhat long [2.522 (2) Å].
