An iron(II) derivative of inosine‐5′‐monophosphate has been prepared and fully characterized by X‐ray structure analysis. Its composition is [Fe(5′‐IMP)(H 2 O 5 ]·2H 2 O, and the metal atom binds at the N(7) position on the purine moiety. Two different conformations coexist within the structure, so that of the 3 crystallographically independent molecules, one has the ribose ring C2′‐ endo , while the other two are C3′‐ endo .
