Reaction of 3,5-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid（3,5-PydcH2） with iron salt in hydrothermal condition results in the formation of a three-dimensional self-assembly network formulated as [C14H14Fe2N2O12]n,and it has been structurally characterized by elemental analysis,IR spectra and X-ray diffraction.It crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group C2/c with a=9.9633（15）,b=12.0942（18）,c=7.4297（11）A and β=105.822o.The units of Fe2（pydc）2·2H2O are linked into a one-dimensional structure via the chelate carboxylate groups from the 3,5-pyridine-dicarboxylate.The interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions result in a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.In the complex,the Fe（Ⅲ） ion displays a slightly distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry with seven coordination numbers.Cyclic-voltammetry measurement reveals the oxidation and reduction processes for the complex are quasi-reversible in nature.
