Abstract

In the neutral title complex, [Fe(C(6)H(5)N(2)O(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the coordination geometry aound the Fe(II) atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is distorted octa-hedral comprising two N atoms and two O atoms from two 5-methyl-pyrazine-2-carboxyl-ate ligands, and two water mol-ecules. The crystal structure is stabilized by a network of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
