The title compound, [Fe(2)(C(16)H(14)N(2)O(2))(2)(NCS)(2)], is isostructural with the Mn(III)-containing analogue. Each Fe(III) atom is chelated by a tetra-dentate 2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]diphenolate ligand and by the N atom of a thio-cyanate anion, in a square-pyramidal arrangement. The complex mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers, with an Fe-O contact of 2.549 (3) Å, trans to each thio-cyanate anion, completing a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry.
