Abstract
Analysis of the title complex, K-2[Fe(CN)(4)(C10H8N2)].-2.5H(2)O, show s that the asymmetric unit contains two [Fe(bpy)(CN)(4)](2-) units, fo ur K+ ions and five water molecules. There is extensive hydrogen bondi ng within the structure and, as expected, all hydrogen-bond donors and accepters are involved in hydrogen bonding, resulting in a complex th ree-dimensional network. The water molecules and K+ ions occupy three different channels in the framework created by the packing of the [Fe( bpy)(CN)(4)](2-) units.
