Iron(II) sulfide or ferrous sulfide (Br.E. sulphide) is one of a family of chemical compounds and minerals with the approximate formula Fe S. Iron sulfides are often iron-deficient non-stoichiometric. All are black, water-insoluble solids.
Reactions of oxidation of sulfide to sulfate and elemental sulfur (incorrectly balanced). The electrons (e −) liberated from these oxidation reactions, which release chemical energy, are then used to fix carbon into organic molecules. The elements that become oxidized are shown in pink, those that become reduced in blue, and the electrons in ...
Dibenzyl sulfide is a symmetrical thioether. It contains two C 6 H 5 CH 2 - (benzyl) groups linked by a sulfide bridge. It is a colorless or white solid that is soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Iron oxide pigment. The brown color indicates that iron is at the oxidation state +3. Green and reddish brown stains on a limestone core sample, respectively corresponding to oxides/hydroxides of Fe 2+ and Fe 3+. Iron oxides feature as ferrous or ferric or both. They adopt octahedral or tetrahedral coordination geometry. Only a few oxides are ...
Greigite, with the chemical formula Fe 2+ Fe 3+ 2 S 4, is a mixed valence compound containing both Fe(III) and Fe(II). It is the sulfur equivalent of the iron oxide magnetite (Fe 3 O 4). As established by X-ray crystallography, the S anions form a cubic close-packed lattice, and the Fe cations occupy both tetrahedral and octahedral sites. [5]
Iron shows the characteristic chemical properties of the transition metals, namely the ability to form variable oxidation states differing by steps of one and a very large coordination and organometallic chemistry: indeed, it was the discovery of an iron compound, ferrocene, that revolutionalized the latter field in the 1950s.

HSAB is an acronym for "hard and soft (Lewis) acids and bases".HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species.
Simplified diagram of the iron oxide cycle. For chemical reactions, the iron oxide cycle (Fe 3 O 4 /FeO) is the original two-step thermochemical cycle proposed for use for hydrogen production. [1] It is based on the reduction and subsequent oxidation of iron ions, particularly the reduction and oxidation between Fe 3+ and Fe 2+.
