%X The crystal structure of an iron(II) complex of 2-(pyridin-2-ylamino)-4-(pyridin-2-yl)tliazoe (paptH) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. [Fe(paptH)2] [BF4]2.3H2O is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a 8.968(6), b 9.038(4), c 41.15(2)Å, &#946; 94.81(2)º. The disordered structure was refined to a residual R 0.0826 for 2549 observed reflections. The ligands and anions are orientationally disordered, and the waters of crystallization are positionally disordered. Comprehensive constrained refinement, with 220 parameters for 139 atom positions, produced reliable geometry. The complex cation has a distorted octahedral structure of meridional configuration with both paptH ligands functioning as tridentates.
