Sodium ferrocyanide is produced industrially from hydrogen cyanide, ferrous chloride, and calcium hydroxide, the combination of which affords Ca 2 [Fe(CN) 6]·11H 2 O.A solution of this salt is then treated with sodium salts to precipitate the mixed calcium-sodium salt CaNa 2 [Fe(CN) 6] 2, which in turn is treated with sodium carbonate to give the tetrasodium salt.
Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion [Fe 6] 4−. Salts of this coordination complex give yellow solutions. It is usually available as the salt potassium ferrocyanide, which has the formula K 4 Fe(CN) 6. [Fe(CN) 6] 4− is a diamagnetic species, featuring low-spin iron(II) center in an octahedral ligand environment.
2 K 4 [Fe(CN) 6] + Cl 2 → 2 K 3 [Fe(CN) 6] + 2 KCl. This reaction can be used to remove potassium hexacyanidoferrate(II) from a solution. [citation needed] A famous reaction involves treatment with ferric salts, most commonly Iron(III) chloride, to give Prussian blue. In the reaction with Iron(III) chloride, producing Potassium chloride as a ...

The similar reaction of potassium ferricyanide and iron(II) results in the same colloidal solution, because [Fe 3+ (CN) 6] 3− is converted into ferrocyanide. The "insoluble" Prussian blue is obtained if, in the reactions above, an excess of Fe(III) is added:
The sodium fusion extract is made alkaline by adding NaOH.To this mixture, freshly prepared FeSO 4 solution is added and boiled for some time and then cooled. A few drops of FeCl 3 are added and Prussian blue (bluish green) color forms due to formation of ferric ferrocyanide along with NaCl.
Cyanogen azide is a primary explosive, although it is far too unstable for practical use as an explosive and is extremely dangerous outside dilute solution. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Its use in chemistry has been as a reagent prepared in situ for use in the synthesis of chemicals such as diaminotetrazoles, either in dilute solution or as a gas at reduced ...
The iron is low spin and easily reduced to the related ferrocyanide ion [Fe(CN) 6] 4−, which is a ferrous (Fe 2+) derivative. This redox couple is reversible and entails no making or breaking of Fe–C bonds: [Fe(CN) 6] 3− + e − ⇌ [Fe(CN) 6] 4−. This redox couple is a standard in electrochemistry.
