title: Poly[diaqua-bis[μ(2)-2,4-(dichloro-phenoxy)-acetato-κO:O']iron(II)].
abstract: In the title compound, [Fe(C(8)H(5)Cl(2)O(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Fe(II) atom is located on an inversion center. It is coordinated by four O atoms from four 2,4-dichloro-phenoxy-acetate ligands and two water mol-ecules, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The carboxyl-ate groups of the 2,4-dichloro-phenoxy-acetate ligands link the Fe atoms, forming a polymeric layered network in the bc plane. Intra-layer O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds enhance the stability of the two-dimensional network.
