CAS No.: 13601-19-9
Sodium Ferrocyanide is produced industrially from hydrogen cyanide, ferrous chloride, and calcium hydroxide, the combination of which affords Ca2[Fe(CN)6] • 11H2O. A solution of this salt is then treated with sodium salts to precipitate the mixed calcium-sodium salt CaNa2[Fe(CN)6], which in turn is treated with sodium carbonate to give the tetrasodium salt.
Storage
Hygroscopic, -20°C Freezer, Under inert atmosphere
Reactivity
Sodium ferrocyanide is a coordination compound of iron. The cyanide ligands are tightly bound to the iron, so it is not as toxic as simple inorganic cyanide salts. However, this compound can release hydrogen cyanide gas upon reaction with acids.
appearance
Sodium ferrocyanide is a yellow crystalline salt Na4Fe(CN)6 similar to Potassium Ferrocyanide and used in making iron blue pigments, blueprint paper, and dyes — Called also yellow prussiate of soda
