description

The crystal structures of eight solvates of {Fe(4,4′-bipyridine)2(NCS)2}n have been determined. All of them contain a layered iron–bipyridine–thiocyanate framework formed from approximately square infinite two-dimensional (4,4) iron–bipyridine grids, with the solvent molecules hosted between adjacent layers. All the structures contain the iron(II) centres in the high-spin electronic configuration, and magnetic susceptibility measurements on the toluene and nitrobenzene solvates do not reveal any spin-crossover behaviour.
