Iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II)(CAS: 14038-43-8)

Iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) is a complex iron compound with the chemical formula [Fe4(CN)6]3-. It is a deep blue crystalline solid with a magnetic property.

Iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) is primarily used in analytical chemistry for redox titrations, as a colorimetric reagent, and in the synthesis of other iron compounds. It also finds applications in the dye industry and as a component in some electroplating solutions.

Iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) is generally considered safe, but it should be handled with care due to its potential to cause skin irritation and eye irritation. It is not toxic by ingestion, but direct contact with skin or eyes should be avoided. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety goggles.

Iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) should be stored in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent decomposition and loss of color. Store at room temperature (15-25°C) and protect from humidity and light exposure to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
