Ferrous acetate Usage And Synthesis

Description

Iron (II) acetate is an off-white or light brown solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and it forms a light green tetrahydrate. Iron (II) acetate is manufactured from scrap iron and acetic acid, and it is used as a mordant by the dye industry. Ebonizing wood is one such process.
It can also be made by the reaction of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide with concentrated acetic acid 。.

Chemical Properties

off-white to light grey or light brown powder

Uses

Textile dyeing, medicine, dyeing leather, wood preservative.

Uses

Iron(II) acetate is used as a mordant by the dye industry, as a catalyst in organic oxidation reactions and in carbon nanotube synthesis. It is used as a precursor in the production of other iron compounds.

General Description

Iron (II) acetate is a white or light brown solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and it forms a light green tetrahydrate. It is more nontoxic than iron pentacarbonyl and reactivity is better.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by subcutaneous route. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
