Tris[4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium] hexa-kis-(thio-cyanato-κN)ferrate(III) monohydrate

In the title compound, (C7H11N2)3[Fe(NCS)6]·H2O, the Fe(III) cation is coordinated by six terminal N-bonded thio-cyanate anions into a discrete threefold negatively charged complex. Charge balance is achieved by three protonated 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridine cations. The asymmetric unit consists of one Fe(III) cation, six thio-cyanate anions, three 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium cations and one water mol-ecule, all of them located in general positions.
