Talk:Potassium ferrate

Another Synthesis.

Would it be a good idea to mention in the synthesis section that it can be prepared by electrolysis of potassium hydroxide solution with an iron anode ? If the concentration of the potassium hydroxide solution is high enough, solid potassium ferrate precipitates. This sugestion is based on my limited grasp of the following reference.

Green, maybe not.
Yes it is a stronger oxidant like permanganate and behaves similarly. Refs in Organic Chemistry that it cleaved 1,2 Diols more vigorously than KMnO4. Probably explains the hole in your T-shirt where the blood stain was and you washed it in bleach.

Interesting thought. Fe, Ru, Os. RuO4, OsO4. Would electrolysis or Ozonolysis yield FeO4 gas?

 * I read somewhere that FeO4 has been once synthesized by electrolysis of Potassium ferrate. FeO4 is a pale-pink, very unstable liquid soluble in non-polar solvents. Krasss (talk) 14:09, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
