CAS 15201-61-3: iron(iii) perchlorate hydrate

Applications Iron(III) perchlorate hydrate (cas# 15201-61-3) is a useful research chemical.

Iron(III) perchlorate hydrate (yellow)

Iron(III)perchloratehydrate is a molecule that participates in redox reactions. It can be reduced by borohydride to form the ferrous ion, which then reacts with a second molecule of perchlorate to form Iron(II)perchlorate. This process is known as a redox cycle. Iron(II)perchlorate can also be oxidized back to Iron(III)perchlorate using trifluoromethanesulfonic acid or any other oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide. The reaction mechanism of this molecule is not yet fully understood, but it is believed that it may involve a transfer mechanism with water molecules. Iron(III)perchloratehydrate has been shown to have photocatalytic activity when exposed to UV light and wastewater treatment in order to remove contaminants from the water.

Iron(III) perchlorate hydrate is used as a starting material for the synthesis of a tris-salicylate Fe(III) complex having bidentate chelating units that allow two coordination modes. It is also used as a catalyst for synthesis of fullerene-fused lactones, α-Carbonyl furans via one-pot cyclization, fullerodioxolanes via heterocyclization, dialylated indoles via double alkylation, aryl esters via oxidative esterification and as a chemical actinometer based on photolysis of ferrioxalate in presence of polyoxometalate in aqueous solution, as an oxidant for conducting polymer nanoparticles synthesized in ionic liquid by chemical polymerization.
