Ferric pyrophosphate, Fe4(P2O7)3
Ferric pyrophosphate, Fe4(P2O7)3.9H2O, is obtained as a white precipitate on adding ferric chloride solution to an equivalent amount of sodium pyrophosphate. It is soluble in ferric chloride, in excess of sodium pyrophosphate, and also in acids.
When precipitated ferric hydroxide is dissolved in a 48 per cent, aqueous solution of phosphoric acid, in the proportion of one molecule of Fe(OH)3 to seven of H3PO4, a solution is obtained from which: -
Are these to be regarded as definite compounds ? - Probably not. Complex pyrophosphates analogous to ferri-orthophosphates in which atoms of iron enter the negative radicle, have been prepared. Thus, sodium ferri-pyrophosphate, Na6[Fe2(P2O7)3].9H2O, analogous to sodium ferricyanide, is deposited at 30° C. as a pale violet micro-crystalline precipitate from a 15 per cent, solution of sodium pyrophosphate saturated with ferric pyrophosphate. The copper and silver salts, Cu3[Fe2(P2O7)3].12H2O and Ag6[Fe2(P2O7)3].4H2O respectively, have been obtained from the sodium salt by double decomposition. |
