| | 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 | 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. | | Uses | Textile dyeing, medicine, dyeing leather, wood preservative. | | 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. |
