Crystal structure, synthesis and thermal properties of bis-(4-benzoyl-pyridine-κN)bis-(iso-thio-cyanato-κN)bis-(methanol-κN)iron(II).

ABSTRACT: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(NCS)₂(C₁₂H₉NO)₂(CH₄O)₂], the Fe^II cations are octa-hedrally coordinated by two N atoms of 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands, two N atoms of two terminal iso-thio-cyanate anions and two methanol mol-ecules into discrete complexes that are located on centres of inversion. These complexes are linked via inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the methanol O-H H atoms and the carbonyl O atoms of the 4-benzoyl-pyridine ligands, forming layers parallel to (101). Powder X-ray diffraction proved that a pure sample was obtained but that this compound is unstable and transforms into an unknown crystalline phase within several weeks. However, the solvent mol-ecules can
