Ferrocyanide when finely ground is almost colourless but ferricyanide and nitroprusside are darker yellow to yellow-orange depending on particle size.

Refining some palladium from 10% Pd/C with aqua regia:



-this color was always one of my favorites(:

Water. Solutions of the ferrocyanide are of course pure yellow.

One who gets ferricyanide for the ferrocyanide price should inquire about larger quantities.

In water it becomes bright yellow. So then the label is correct and I am happy. Ferrocyanide is it.

Why do you suppose it is the exact color of the ferricyanide until I grind it up a bit? Do larger crystals appear darker due to light or something?

I have some crystalline ferrocyanide and it is pure yellow even with a crystal size of several millimeters.
The red ferricyanide gives a yellow solution in water! You definitely have ferricyanide, contact your supplier and complain!

Well, IMHO there is a apple-green note in mine...yes my statement was not correct...it's more that one is much darker and more electric...ferrocyanide is pale and plain.

How can you stand using such obsolete terminology? Ferrocyanide and ferricyanide... It was invented by the devil himself to make people angry. :D
Hexacyanoferrate(II) and hexacyanoferrate(III). Meaningful, informative and systematic.

On forums I try to use the most common terms so people understand what I am saying and don't have to decipher each word one by one. But anyway, so far I have gotten conflicting information about how to figure out what I have. I think what I will do is just bring back the bottle to my chem supply warehouse and ask them if they made a mistake.

Oh dear, I wouldn't use a 3-necked flask for that. Apparently the KOH corrodes the glass quite rapidly. Better to use an el-cheapo erlenmeyer or something

I think just about everyone's experience has been the opposite, actually - little to no corrosion. I've done it 3 times myself now, and no visible effect on my glassware. I suppose there could be a tiny amount of etching, but if there is it's very slow.

Is the Tris(acetylacetonate)Iron hygroscopic?
Looks nice, with a funny colour somewhere between brown and red.

Some 4-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) which was recrystallized from vitamin supplement capsules. Absolutely amazing to watch them grow in solution, like massive cactus-like pods of crystals. Very easy to separate from the other ingredients in the capsules (magnesium stearate, stearic acid, silica). Also is a picture of the second batch of crystals that just started to form, sadly when I moved the beaker the layer of crystals floating on the surface fell down :(

Thought you guys might enjoy this picture.


It looks as if my watch glass has a big hole in it, but, it's actually crystals of hexamine forming. Photographed from the bottom side.

Na2Cr2O7, i think this picture gets the red almost glowing flouroscent red this gives.. very deep and pretty

my favorite above all.. not only does it have incredibly many possibilities for one compound but its also pretty by itself

When you have no access to the NMR at the moment, but it's important to know that the nitration was successful or not.

As it could be seen, it was successful :D

Open them in Paint, press ctrl+W, resize as you wish. Save the picture.
