1. Ferrocyanide

   Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion [Fe(CN)6]4−. Salts of this coordination complex give yellow solutions. It is usually available as the salt potassium ferrocyanide, which has the formula K4Fe(CN)6. [Fe(CN)6]4− is a diamagnetic species, featuring low-spin iron(II) center in an octahedral ligand environment. Although many salts of cyanide are highly toxic, ferro- and ferricyanides are less toxic because they tend not to release free cyanide. It is of commercial interest as a precursor to the pigment Prussian blue and, as its potassium salt, an anticaking agent.

1. Ferrocyanide

   Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion Fe(CN)64−. In aqueous solutions, this coordination complex is relatively unreactive. It is usually available as the salt potassium ferrocyanide, which has the formula K4Fe(CN)6. Ferrocyanide was not named as a compound of iron and cyanide; rather cyanides as a chemical class were named because they were discovered in ferrocyanide. Ferrocyanide in turn was an iron radical found in the analysis of the intensely blue dye Prussian blue, and named in Latin to mean "blue substance with iron." The dye had been first accidentally made in the early 18th century from substances containing iron, carbon, and nitrogen, and the cyanide formed during the manufacture of the dye. The word "cyanide" used in the name is from kyanos, Greek for " blue." The ferrocyanide anion itself, when not complexed with iron cations, is colored a moderate yellow.
