In the title compound, [Fe(C6H12NO5)2], the FeII ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two N atoms and four O atoms from two tridentate N-[2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)ethyl]glycine ligands, forming a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. In the crystal, O—HO, O—HN and weak C—HO hydrogen bonds link molecules, forming a three-dimensional network.
