Iron(III) phosphate dihydrate, with the chemical formula FePO4·2H2O, is an inorganic compound characterized by its formation of a hydrated iron phosphate. It typically appears as a reddish-brown or yellowish solid, reflecting the oxidation state of iron present in the compound. This substance is soluble in acids but generally insoluble in water, which is a common trait of many metal phosphates. Iron(III) phosphate dihydrate is often used in various applications, including as a pigment in ceramics and paints, as well as in agriculture as a micronutrient for plants. Its structure consists of iron ions coordinated to phosphate groups, with water molecules incorporated into the lattice, contributing to its dihydrate classification. The compound is stable under normal conditions but can decompose at elevated temperatures, releasing water and potentially forming anhydrous iron phosphate. Safety data indicates that while it is not classified as highly hazardous, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed to avoid inhalation or prolonged skin contact.
