Crystal structure of 4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridinium cis-di-aqua-bis-(oxalato-κ(2) O,O')ferrate(III) hemihydrate.

The Fe(III) ions in the hybrid title salt, (C7H11N2)[Fe(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·0.5H2O, show a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, with four O atoms from two chelating oxalate dianions and two O atoms from two cis aqua ligands. The average Fe-O(oxalate) bond length [2.00 (2) Å] is shorter than the average Fe-O(water) bond length [2.027 (19) Å]. The ionic components are connected via inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
