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

The title compound, [Fe(C(8)H(3)N(4)O)(2)(C(9)H(8)N(2))(2)], was synthesized solvothermally. The complex exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Fe(2+) ion is located on an inversion centre. The octa-hedral FeN(6) 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 b axis and parallel to (110).
