Thiocyanate used to be known as rhodanide (from a Greek word for rose) because of the red colour of its complexes with iron. Thiocyanate is produced by the reaction of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate with cyanide: + + + The second reaction is catalyzed by thiosulfate sulfurtransferase, a hepatic mitochondrial enzyme, and by other sulfur ...
Thiocyanate complexes are not widely used commercially. Possibly the oldest application of thiocyanate complexes was the use of thiocyanate as a test for ferric ions in aqueous solution. [14] The reverse was also used: testing for the presence of thiocyanate by the addition of ferric salts. The 1:1 complex of thiocyanate and iron is deeply red.
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 ...
In chemistry, ion association is a chemical reaction whereby ions of opposite electric charge come together in solution to form a distinct chemical entity. [1] [2] Ion associates are classified, according to the number of ions that associate with each other, as ion pairs, ion triplets, etc. Ion pairs are also classified according to the nature of the interaction as contact, solvent-shared or ...
Thiocyanate is a common test for the presence of iron(III) as it forms the blood-red [Fe(SCN)(H 2 O) 5] 2+. Like manganese(II), most iron(III) complexes are high-spin, the exceptions being those with ligands that are high in the spectrochemical series such as cyanide. An example of a low-spin iron(III) complex is [Fe(CN) 6] 3−.

The Fe 3+ ion in ferric citrate (as in many iron(III) carboxylates) is reduced by exposure to light, [8] especially blue and ultraviolet, to Fe 2+ (ferrous) ion with concomitant oxidation of the carboxyl group adjacent to the hydroxyl, yielding carbon dioxide and acetonedicarboxylate: 2 Fe 3+ + R 2-C(OH)-CO − 2 → 2 Fe 2+ + R 2-C=O + H + + CO 2
Ferric oxalate, also known as iron(III) oxalate, refers to inorganic compounds with the formula Fe 2 (C 2 O 4) 3 (H 2 O) x but could also refer to salts of [Fe(C 2 O 4) 3] 3-. Fe 2 (C 2 O 4 ) 3 (H 2 O) x are coordination polymers with varying degrees of hydration.
