trans-Bis(quinoline-8-amine-κ2 N,N')bis-(1,1,3,3-tetra-cyano-2-meth-oxy-propenido-κN)iron(II).

The title compound, [Fe(C8H3N4O)2(C9H8N2)2], was synthesized solvothermally. The complex exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The Fe2+ ion is located on an inversion centre. The octa-hedral FeN6 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).
