Formation of iron(VI) in ozonalysis of iron(III) in alkaline solution

摘要

Here we report the formation of iron in hexavalent state, (FeO42-)-O-VI in ozonalysis of iron(III) in alkaline medium. The formation of tetrahedral (FeO42-)-O-VI ion is confirmed by UV-Visible and Mossbauer spectroscopic techniques. The value of isomer shift, delta, of the tetraoxy anion is consistent with known 6 values for various salts of iron(VI) ion. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
