Tris[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] hexakis(thiocyanato-κN)ferrate(III) monohydrate

In the title compound, (C7H11N2)3[Fe(NCS)6]·H2O, the FeIII cation is coordinated by six terminal N-bonded thiocyanate anions into a discrete threefold negatively charged complex. Charge balance is achieved by three protonated 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine cations. The asymmetric unit consists of one FeIII cation, six thiocyanate anions, three 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium cations and one water molecule, all of them located in general positions.
