POTASSIUM FERRIC OXALATE 化学特性,用途語,生産方法
説明
Potassium ferri oxalate , is a chemical compound with the formula K
3[Fe(C
2O
4)
3], where iron is in the +3 oxidation state. It is an octahedral transition metal complex in which three bidentate oxalate ions are bound to an iron center. Potassium acts as a counterion, balancing the -3 charge of the complex. Crystals of the trihydrated form of the complex, K
3[Fe(C

at 100C, decomposes at 230C. Soluble in water and
acetic acid; incompatible with alkali and ammonia,
since these react to precipitate ferric hydroxide.
特性
The ferrioxalate complex exhibits optical activity since there are two non-superimposable stereoisomers of the complex. In accordance with the IUPAC convention, the isomer with the left-handed screw axis is assigned the Greek symbol Λ (lambda). Its mirror image with the right-handed screw axis is given the Greek symbol Δ (delta).
使用
Photography and blueprinting.
製造方法
The complex can be synthesized from the reaction between iron (III) sulfate, barium oxalate and potassium oxalate :

4 The reactants are dissolved in water and heated for around 1.5 hours. BaSO
4 precipitates out leaving behind the newly formed complex in solution. The complex can then be obtained by filtering off the BaSO
4 and cooling the solution so that it crystallizes out.
反応性
In solution, the ferrioxalate complex undergoes photoreduction. In this process, the complex absorbs a photon of light and subsequently decomposes to form Fe(C
