title: Aqua-chloridobis[5-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-tetra-zolato-κN]iron(III).
abstract: The title compound, [Fe(C(6)H(4)N(5))(2)Cl(H(2)O)], was synthesized by hydro-thermal reaction of FeCl(3) with 2-(1H-tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine. The iron(III) metal centre exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry provided by four N atoms from two bidentate organic ligands, one water O atom and one chloride anion. The pyridine and tetra-zole rings are nearly coplanar [dihedral angles = 4.32 (15) and 5.04 (14)°]. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
