Description and Uses

Iron (II) acetate is an off-white or light brown solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and it forms a light green tetrahydrate. Iron (II) acetate is manufactured from scrap iron and acetic acid, and it is used as a mordant by the dye industry. Ebonizing wood is one such process.
It can also be made by the reaction of ferrous oxide or ferrous hydroxide with concentrated acetic acid 。.

Iron(II) acetate is used as a mordant by the dye industry, as a catalyst in organic oxidation reactions and in carbon nanotube synthesis. It is used as a precursor in the production of other iron compounds.
