Aqua­chloridobis[5-(2-pyrid­yl)-1H-tetra­zolato-κN (1)]iron(III)

The title compound, [Fe(C(6)H(4)N(5))(2)Cl(H(2)O)], was synthesized by hydro­thermal reaction of FeCl(3) with 2-(1H-tetra­zol-5-yl)pyridine. The iron(III) metal centre exhibits a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry provided by four N atoms from two bidentate organic ligands, one water O atom and one chloride anion. The pyridine and tetra­zole rings are nearly coplanar [dihedral angles = 4.32 (15) and 5.04 (14)°]. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
