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.[edit]

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)[reply]
