Barium ferrate is the name generally given to the chemical compound of formula BaFeO4. This compound contains iron in the +6 (VI) oxidation state and is sometimes called barium ferrate(VI). It is isostructural with BaSO4 and contains the tetrahedral FeO42− anion.[1]
[edit] Preparation and chemistry
Barium ferrate (anhydrous) can be prepared by precipitation of insoluble BaFeO4 from a solution containing potassium ferrate and barium chloride.[2] Barium ferrate is an oxidising agent and has been proposed as a oxidising reagent for use in organic syntheses.[3]
