Potassium ferrocyanide, also known as yellow prussiate of potash or potassium hexacyanoferrate(II), is a coordination compound of formula K4[Fe(CN)6]?3H2O, which forms lemon-yellow monoclinic crystals at room temperature, and which decomposes at its boiling point.; The reaction forms a stable compound that is neither combustible nor pyrophoric. This compound is a strong reducing agent and is thus incompatible with oxidizing agents. Addition of metal chlorates, perchlorates, nitrates, or nitrites to a solution of carefully prepared and otherwise stable potassium ferrocyanide may result in a large explosion.E536Ferrate(4-), hexacyano-, tetrapotassiumFerrate(4-), hexakis(cyano-C)-, tetrapotassiumFerrate(4-), hexakis(cyano-C)-, tetrapotassium, (OC-6-11)-Potassium ferrocyanatePotassium ferrocyanidePotassium hexacyanoferratePotassium hexacyanoferrate(II)Tetrapotassium ferrocyanideTetrapotassium hexacyanoferrateTetrapotassium hexacyanoferrate(4-)Tetrapotassium hexacyanoferrate(II)C6FeK4N6368.343367.808213607tetrapotassium ironhexacarbonitriletetrapotassium prussian blue13943-58-3[K+].[K+].[K+].[K+].N#C[Fe](C#N)(C#N)(C#N)(C#N)C#NInChI=1S/6CN.Fe.4K/c6*1-2;;;;;/q;;;;;;;4*+1GDZKPHDTRQJRIE-UHFFFAOYSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic alkali metal salts.
