Bis(2-{5-[(2-carb-oxy-phen-yl)sulfanylmeth-yl]-2,4-dimethyl-benzyl-sulfan-yl}benzoato-κO,O')bis-(pyridine-κN)iron(II).

The title compound, [Fe(C(24)H(21)O(4)S(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)], has 2 symmetry. The Fe(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is O,O'-chelated by two 2-{5-[(2-carb-oxy-phen-yl)sulfanylmeth-yl]-2,4-dimethyl-benzyl-sulfan-yl}benzoate anions and further coordinated by two pyridine ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the anion, the terminal benzene rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 63.81 (14) and 84.50 (14)° with respect to the central benzene ring. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
