Ferrous oxalate (iron(II) oxalate) are inorganic compound with the formula FeC₂O₄(H₂O)_x where x is 0 or 2. These are orange compounds, poorly soluble in water. Thyy

Structure and reactions

Like other iron oxalates, ferrous oxalates feature octahedral Fe centers. The dihydrate FeC₂O₄(H₂O)_x is a coordination polymer, consisting of chains of oxalate-bridged ferrous centers, each with two aquo ligands.^[3]

When heated to 120 °C, the dihydrate dehydrates, and the anhydrous ferrous oxalate decomposes near 190 °C.^[4] The products of thermal decomposition is a mixture of iron oxides and pyrophoric iron metal, as well as released carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water.^[5]

Ferrous oxalates are precursors to iron phosphates, which are of value in batteries.^[6]

Natural occurrence

Anhydrous iron(II) oxalate is unknown among minerals as of 2020. However, the dihydrate is known as humboldtine.^[7]^[8] A related, though much more complex mineral is stepanovite,
Na[Mg(H₂O)₆] [Fe³⁺(C₂O₄)₃]·3H₂O - an example of trioxalatoferrate(III).^[9]^[8]
