Pyridinium bis­(pyridine-κN)tetra­kis­(thio­cyanato-κN)ferrate(III)

In the title compound, (C(5)H(6)N)[Fe(NCS)(4)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], the Fe(III) ion is coordinated by four thio­cyanate N atoms and two pyridine N atoms in a trans arrangement, forming an FeN(6) polyhedron with a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. Charge balance is achieved by one pyridinium cation bound to the complex anion via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. The asymmetric unit consists of one Fe(III) cation, four thio­cyanate anions, two coordinated pyridine mol­ecules and one pyridinium cation. The structure exhibits π–π inter­actions between pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7267 (2), 3.7811 (2) and 3.8924 (2) Å]. The N atom and a neighboring C atom of the pyridinium cation are statistically disordered with an occupancy ratio of 0.58 (2):0.42 (2).
