| Ferrous chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Occurrence and Uses | Iron(II) chloride occurs in nature as the mineral lawrencite. Iron dichloride is used as a mordant for dyeing; and as a reducing agent. It also is used in pharmaceutical preparation; in sewage treatment; and in metallurgy. |
| Physical Properties | White hexagonal crystal; hygroscopic; density 3.16g/cm3; melts at 677°C; vaporizes at 1,023°C; vapor pressure 20 torr at 737°C and 200 torr at 897°C; highly soluble in water, ethanol and acetone; slightly soluble in benzene. The dihydrate and tetrahydrate are greenish monoclinic crystals; densities 2.39 and 1.39 g/cm3, respectively; decomposing at 120 and 105°C, respectively; both the hydrates soluble in water. |
| Preparation | Iron(II) chloride is prepared by passing chlorine or hydrogen chloride gas over iron at red heat or 700°C:
Fe + 2HCl → FeCl2 + H2
Fe + Cl2 → FeCl2
It also may be produced by the reduction of iron(III) chloride with hydrogen or other reducing agents at elevated temperatures:
2FeCl3 + H2 → 2FeCl2 + 2HCl
The tetrahydrate is obtained by dissolving the metal in hydrochloric acid followed by crystallization at room temperature.
Fe + 2HCl + 4H2O → FeCl2•4H2O + H2
The tetrahydrate gradually loses water when heated above 105°C forming dihydrate, monohydrate and the anhydrous salt. At 220°C it loses all its water of crystallization. |
| Chemical Properties | Greenish-white crystals. readily oxidized. Soluble in alcohol and water. |
| Chemical Properties | Ferrous chloride is a pale greenish salt-like crystal or power. |

| Uses | Ferrous chloride (FeCl2) is used in pharmaceutical preparations, for sewage treatment, and as a mordant (which fixes dyes so that they will not run) in textiles. |
| Uses | Used in the synthesis of a novel cis-Fe(BPE5)2Cl2 (BPE5=1,2-diphospholanoethane) complex, which has potential application in many types of reactions such as intra- or intermolecular activation.1 |
| Uses | A paramagnetic solid. |
