Iron(iii) p-toluenesulfonate(CAS: 77214-82-5)

Iron(iii) p-toluenesulfonate, also known as ferric p-toluenesulfonate, is an inorganic salt with the chemical formula Fe(C6H4SO2CH3)3. It is a brown solid with a faint metallic odor and is used in various applications due to its chemical properties.

Iron(iii) p-toluenesulfonate is primarily used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, as a pigment in paints, and in the production of dyes. It is also used in pharmaceuticals for certain analytical procedures and as a reducing agent.

Iron(iii) p-toluenesulfonate is generally considered safe when handled with proper precautions. However, it should be used in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhalation and should be kept away from sources of heat or flame to prevent fires. Direct contact with skin or eyes should be avoided, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) should be used.

Iron(iii) p-toluenesulfonate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It is best kept in a tightly closed container made of glass or a non-reactive material to prevent degradation. The storage temperature should be maintained below 30°C to ensure its stability and safety.
