In the title polymeric complex, {[FePt(CN)4(H2O)2]·2C3H6O} n , the FeII cation has an octa-hedral [FeN4O2] geometry being coordinated by two water mol-ecules and four cyanide anions. The Pt cation is located on an inversion centre and has a square-planar coordination environment formed by four cyanide groups. The tetra-cyano-platinate anions bridge the FeII cations to form infinite two-dimensional layers that propagate in the bc plane. Two guest mol-ecules of acetone per FeII are located between the layers. These guest acetone mol-ecules inter-act with the coordinated water mol-ecules by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
Keywords: Hofmann clathrate; crystal structure; iron(II).
