Popis: The structures are reported of six racemic tris­(bipyrid­yl)iron salts with a range of 2-substituted-1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano­propenide anions, mostly also containing either perchlorate or tetra­fluorido­borate as co-anions. In three of the compounds the polynitrile anions are fully ordered, and in three others they are disordered, while the co-anion is also ordered in three compounds, but disordered in two others. Supra­molecular assemblies range from no continuous aggregation up to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework structure.
Structures are reported for six closely related salts of tris­(bipyrid­yl)iron(II) cations, namely tris­(2,2′-bi­pyridine)­iron(II) bis­(1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-meth­oxy­propenide) 0.776-hydrate, [Fe(C10H8N2)3](C8H3N4O)2.0.776H2O, (I), tris­(2,2′-bi­pyridine)­iron(II) 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-(propyl­sulfan­yl)propenide perchlor­ate, [Fe(C10H8N2)3](C10H7N4S)(ClO4), (II), tris­(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­iron(II) 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-meth­oxy­propenide tetra­fluorido­borate ethanol 0.926-solvate, [Fe(C12H12N2)3](C8H3N4O)(BF4).0.926C2H2O, (III), tris­(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­iron(II) 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-eth­oxy­propenide tetra­fluorido­borate, [Fe(C12H12N2)3](C9H5N4O)(BF4), (IV), tris­(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­iron(II) 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-(ethyl­sufanyl)propenide tetra­fluorido­borate, [Fe(C12H12N2)3](C9H5N4S)(BF4), (V), and tris­(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bi­pyri­dine)­iron(II) 1,1,3,3-tetra­cyano-2-prop­oxypropenide tetra­fluorido­borate, [Fe(C12H12N2)3](C10H7N4O)(BF4), (VI). In compound (I), one of the anions is disordered over two sets of atomic sites with equal occupancies while, in the second anion, just one of the C(CN)2 units is disordered, again over two sets of atomic sites with equal occupancies: the anionic components are linked by multiple C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional framework. In compound (II), the polynitrile anion is disordered over two sets of atomic sites with occupancies in the approximate ratio 3:1, while the perchlorate anion is disordered over three sets of atomic sites: there are C—N⋯π inter­actions between the cations and the polynitrile anion. The polynitrile anion in compound (III) is fully ordered, but the tetra­fluorido­borate anion is disordered over two sets of atomic sites with occupancies 0.671 (4) and 0.329 (4): the cations and the tetra­fluorido­borate anions are linked by C—H⋯F inter­actions to form an inter­rupted chain. Compounds (IV) and (V) are isostructural and all of the ionic components are fully ordered in both of them: the cations and tetra­fluorido­borate anions are linked into C 2 2(12) chains. The polynitrile anion in compound (VI) is disordered over two sets of atomic sites with approximately equal occupancies, and here the chains formed by the cations and the tetra­fluorido­borate anions are of the C 2 2(13) type.
