The title compound, [FeLi 2 (C 12 H 12 N 12 O 6 )(H 2 O) 4 ]·4H 2 O, consists of iron complex anions, lithium cations and water mol-ecules. The complex anion shows a clathrochelate topology. The coordination geometry of the Fe IV centre is inter-mediate between a trigonal prism and a trigonal anti-prism. In the crystal, the complex anions are connected through two Li cations into dimers, which are connected by Li-O bonds, forming infinite chains along the b- axis direction.
