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. Although many salts of cyanide are highly toxic, ferro- and ferricyanides are less toxic because they tend not to release free cyanide. [1]

Iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, FeCl 2 ·4H 2 O. In chemistry, iron(II) refers to the element iron in its +2 oxidation state. The adjective ferrous or the prefix ferro-is often used to specify such compounds, as in ferrous chloride for iron(II) chloride (FeCl 2). The adjective ferric is used instead for iron(III) salts, containing the cation Fe 3+.
An example of a low-spin iron(III) complex is [Fe(CN) 6] 3−. The cyanide ligands may easily be detached in [Fe(CN) 6] 3−, and hence this complex is poisonous, unlike the iron(II) complex [Fe(CN) 6] 4− found in Prussian blue, [16] which does not release hydrogen cyanide except when dilute acids are added. [17]
Despite the fact that it is prepared from cyanide salts, Prussian blue is not toxic because the cyanide groups are tightly bound to iron. [25] Both ferrocyanide (( Fe 2+ (CN) 6 ) 4− ) and ferricyanide (( Fe 3+ (CN) 6 ) 3− ) are particularly stable and non-toxic polymeric cyanometalates due to the strong iron coordination to cyanide ions.

Cyanometallates or cyanometalates are a class of coordination compounds, most often consisting only of cyanide ligands. [1] Most are anions. Cyanide is a highly basic and small ligand, hence it readily saturates the coordination sphere of metal ions.
