In the title compound [Fe2(C2O4)(C8H8N4)4](CH3C6H4SO3)2·2.75H2O, the two FeII ions have a highly distorted octahedral FeN4O2 environment formed by two bidentate triazole-based chelating ligands and a bis-bidentate oxalate bridging anion that connects the metal ions. Stabilization within the crystal structure is provided via a system of O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonding, which determines the formation of a two-dimensional architecture along the a-axis direction.
