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.
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
Chloroplatinic acid – H 2 [PtCl 6] Chlorosulfonic acid – ClSO 3 H; Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate – ClSO 2 NCO; Chloryl fluoride – ClO 2 F; Chromium(II) chloride – CrCl 2; Chromium(III) chloride – CrCl 3; Chromyl chloride – CrO 2 Cl 2; Cisplatin (cis–platinum(II) chloride diamine) – [PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2] Cobalt(II) chloride – CoCl 2 ...
Name General Description Acetic acid: an organic acid; is one of the simplest carboxylic acids: Acetone: an organic compound; simplest example of the ketones: Acetylene: a hydrocarbon and the simplest alkyne; widely used as a fuel and chemical building block Ammonia: inorganic; the precursor to most nitrogen-containing compounds; used to make ...
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 ...
Nitric acid is a source of nitric oxide complexes, although the details are obscure. Probably relevant is the conventional self-dehydration of nitric acid: 2 HNO 3 → NO 2 + NO 3 − + H 2 O. Nitric acid is used in some preparations of nitroprusside from ferrocyanide: HNO 3 + [Fe(CN) 6] 4-→ [Fe(CN) 5 (NO)] 2-+ OH − + OCN −
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.
