The molecular structure of the neutral mononuclear complex [Fe(NCS)2(3-bpo)2(H2O)2], in which 3-bpo denotes 2,5-di-3-pyridyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole (C12H8N4O), is centrosymmetric, with FeII located on an inversion center. This complex is octahedral, and the FeII atom is trans coordinated by two monodentate NSC− ligands, two monodentate 3-bpo ligands and two water molecules. Each complex is linked to four others, forming a (011) sheet, by O—H
N hydrogen bonding. Weak C—HS interactions link each (011) sheet to the two adjacent sheets, hence forming a three-dimensional array. There is also some slipped π stacking within each sheet.
