IRON(III) FLUORIDE TRIHYDRATE Structural

What is IRON(III) FLUORIDE TRIHYDRATE?

Chemical properties

Brown-red crystalline powder

The Uses of IRON(III) FLUORIDE TRIHYDRATE

Ceramics (porcelain, pottery), catalyst.

The Uses of IRON(III) FLUORIDE TRIHYDRATE

The primary commercial use of iron(III) fluoride in the production of ceramics. Some cross coupling reaction are catalyzed by ferric fluoride-based compounds. Iron(III) fluoride has also been shown to catalyze chemoselective addition of cyanide to aldehydes to give the cyanohydrins.

Hazard

Strong irritant.
