Potassium ferrooxalate, also known as potassium bisoxalatoferrate(II), is a salt with the formula K2Fe(C2O4)2(H2O)x. The anion is a transition metal oxalate complex, consisting of an atom of iron in the +2 oxidation state bound to oxalate (C
2O2−
4) ligands and water.[2]
Anhydrous K2Fe(C2O4)2 has been prepared by hydrothermal methods from ferrous chloride. It is a coordination polymer with trigonal prismatic Fe(C2O4)3 centers. Half of the oxalate ligands are bridging.[3]
