Tetra-kis(?-pivalato-?O:O')bis-[(2-methyl-pyridine-?N)iron(II)](Fe-Fe).


ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(2)(C(5)H(9)O(2))(4)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], contains one unique Fe-atom site located close to a centre of symmetry which generates the mol-ecular dimer. The two Fe atoms are bridged by four carboxyl-ate groups and are each coordinated by a mol-ecule 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 octa-hedral coordination environment around each Fe atom.
