Ferrate loosely refers to a material that can be viewed as containing anionic iron complexes. The term ferrate derives from la ferrum 'iron'.
Examples include tetrachloroferrate ([FeCl4]2−), oxyanions (e.g. FeO2−4), and the organoferrates, including highly reduced tetracarbonylferrate ([Fe(CO)4]2−) salts.[1] Although rarely studied, ferrate(V) [FeO4]3− and ferrate(IV) [FeO4]4− oxyanions of iron also exist. These too are called ferrates.[2]
Ferrate(VI) is a strong oxidizer,[3] used in water purification[4] and battery technology.[5][6]
