Abstract The complex [Fe(4,4´-bipy)2(H2O)2(sac)2.2(4,4´-bipy) was obtained in an attempt to prepare a square grid polymer by reaction of tetraaquabis(saccharinato)iron(II) dihydrate with 4,4´-bipyridine. Its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. It belongs to the monoclinic space group P2/C with Z=2. The Fe(II) cation is in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination with two 4,4´-bipy and four water molecules as ligands. Its electronic and IR spectra, room temperature magnetic susceptibility and the thermal behavior were also investigated.
