title: catena-Poly[bis-[cis-dipyrimidine-trans-dithio-cyanato-iron(II)]-di-μ-pyrimidine-[trans-dithio-cyanato-iron(II)]-di-μ-pyrimidine].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Fe(3)(NCS)(6)(C(4)H(4)N(2))(8)](n), each iron(II) cation is coordinated by four N-bonded pyrimidine ligands and two N-bonded thio-cyanate anions in a distorted octa-hedral environment. The asymmetric unit consists of one iron cation located on a crystallographic center of inversion, as well as one iron cation, three thio-cyanate anions and four pyrimidine ligands occupying general positions. The structure consists of square secondary building units (SBUs) with an Fe atom at each corner, which are μ-N(1):N(3)-bridged by the pyrimidine ligands. The SBUs are linked into infinite chains running in the c-axis direction via common opposite corners.
