Growing a Display Crystal of Recycled Potassium Tris(oxalato)ferrate(III) Trihydrate

Abstract: Potassium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III) trihydrate is a commonly prepared coordination compound in general or upperlevel chemistry laboratories and can be recycled to grow large single crystals that instructors may display when introducing the experiment to classes. Showing the crystal's shape can also be used to briefly introduce students to X-ray crystallography, symmetry, and unit cell dimensions.

“…The complex was prepared according to a known procedure as reported in the literature [14] by dissolving 5.5 g (0.03 mole) of potassium oxalate monohydrate in 100 cm 3 of water with the aid of a steam bath maintained at 25 O C after which 2.7 g (0.01mole) of iron (III) chloride hexahydrate was then added with stirring. The resulting solution was kept on an ice bath for crystallization and the deposited green crystals were collected by Buchner filtration.…”
