Even though carbon dioxide is carried by hemoglobin, it does not compete with oxygen for the iron-binding positions but is bound to the amine groups of the protein chains attached to the heme groups. The iron ion may be either in the ferrous Fe 2+ or in the ferric Fe 3+ state, but ferrihemoglobin (methemoglobin) (Fe 3+) cannot bind oxygen. [50]

Iron(III) is then reduced back to iron(II) by another molecule of hydrogen peroxide, forming a hydroperoxyl radical and a proton. The net effect is a disproportionation of hydrogen peroxide to create two different oxygen-radical species, with water (H + + OH − ) as a byproduct.
Ferric oxide, commonly called rust, is a very complicated material that contains iron(III). Iron(III) is found in many minerals and solids, e.g., oxide Fe 2 O 3 (hematite) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide FeO(OH) are extremely insoluble reflecting their polymeric structure. Rust is a mixture of iron(III) oxide and oxide-hydroxide that usually ...
The iron compounds produced on the largest scale in industry are iron(II) sulfate (FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and iron(III) chloride (FeCl 3). The former is one of the most readily available sources of iron(II), but is less stable to aerial oxidation than Mohr's salt ((NH 4) 2 Fe(SO 4) 2 ·6H 2 O). Iron(II) compounds tend to be oxidized to iron(III ...
Iron(II) complexes are less stable than iron(III) complexes but the preference for O-donor ligands is less marked, so that for example [Fe(NH 3) 6] 2+ is known while [Fe(NH 3) 6] 3+ is not. They have a tendency to be oxidized to iron(III) but this can be moderated by low pH and the specific ligands used. [72]
The lower the position of a metal's line in the Ellingham diagram, the greater is the stability of its oxide. For example, the line for Al (oxidation of aluminium) is found to be below that for Fe (formation of Fe 2 O 3) meaning that aluminium oxide is more stable than iron(III) oxide. Stability of metallic oxides decreases with increase in ...
Iron(III) oxide is a product of the oxidation of iron. It can be prepared in the laboratory by electrolyzing a solution of sodium bicarbonate, an inert electrolyte, with an iron anode: 4 Fe + 3 O 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 FeO(OH) The resulting hydrated iron(III) oxide, written here as FeO(OH), dehydrates around 200 °C. [18] [19] 2 FeO(OH) → Fe 2 O 3 ...
