FeCl2 Iron chloride

With ligands like the chloride anion with more than one lone pair of electrons available for donation, the same chloride anion may bond to more than one metal atom to form a bridging ligand. In anhydrous FeCl3 and FeCl2 each chloride ion bridges two and three iron atoms, respectively, to form an FeCl6 chromophore in each structure. 

Some elements, such as copper and iron, possess two ions with different valencies. Copper can form the Cu+ ion and the Cu2+ ion, with valencies 1 and 2 respectively. Therefore it can form two different compounds with chlorine, CuCl and CuCl2. We can also distinguish the difference by using Roman numerals in their names CuCl is copper(i) chloride and CuCl2 is copper(n) chloride. Similarly, iron forms the Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions and so can also form two different compounds with, for example, chlorine FeCl2 (iron(n) chloride) andFeCl3 (iron(m) chloride). 

Vacuum sublimation of a Zn(III) complex solution produced a pink-colored solid, which was Zn(III) perfhiorotetraphenylporphyrin. NMR analysis of this product showed the absence of pyrrole hydrogen atoms, which is the evidence for complete replacement. Then bivalent iron chloride (FeCl2) was prepared according to the common technique [17]. This compound was then used for Zn(III) ion replacement in a porphyrin ring. For this purpose, the Zn(III) complex was dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF) and then, with the addition of an FeCl2 solution, also in DMF. The reaction mixture was heated in a steam bath at water boiling point for 5 h. Finally, a dark-brown sediment was deposited, and the solution was colored blue, which is typical of iron(III) perfhiorotetraphenylporphyrin (perFTPhPFe(III)) dissolved in DMF. In this case, the active weight of the catalyst iron(III) perfhiorotetraphenylporphyrin equaled 47.05 mg.

Chemists have decided to deal with this situation by using a Roman numeral to specify the charge on the cation. To see how this works, consider the compound FeCl2. Iron can form Fe or Fe, so we must first decide which of these cations is present. We can determine the charge on the iron cation, because we know it must just balance the charge on the two 1- anions (the chloride ions). Thus if we represent the charges as... 

The fact that FeCl2 has two chloride ions, each with a -1 charge, establishes that the charge on Fe is +2. To distinguish between the two iron chlorides, FeCb is named iron(II) chloride and FeCb is named iron(III) chloride ... 

It works well for instance with the metal-vapor technique that consists in vaporizing metal atoms at low temperature and pressure. In fact, the most practical method for the syntheses of ferrocene and its derivatives consists in the in situ deprotonation of cyclopentadiene pKa = 15) or its derivative by diethylamine, the solvent, in the presence of anhydrous FeCl2 or FeCls. The iron chloride can be generated in situ from iron powder and the amine chlorohydrate ... 

SEM-BEI, X20 (Fe-IOCr) without ChlorOut. Reaction zone with high FeCl2 content in metal/oxide interface. (Iron chloride is deliquescent which explains the volume expansion and high oxygen content.) No detectable Ca and K content ( 0.02%), i.e the steady state corrosion in the reaction front is independent of alkali content. 

Iron chloride, FeCl2 is predicted to be the stable sohd chloride-containing phase at the metal/oxide interface. 

The iron chloride produced can diffuse outwards to the salt melt/gas atmosphere interface. At the outer part of the salt melt layer a higher oxygen partial pressure is present, which allows the oxidation of FeCl2 to Fe203 and CI2 due to its favoured thermodynamic stability. 

Iron halides are the most common of these salts [more specifically as a chloride iron(II) chloride (ferrous chloride or FeCl2) and iron(III) chloride (ferric chloride or FeCls)].
