Iron(II) Acetate (CAS 3094-87-9) is a white or light brown solid ionic compound of iron. It is highly soluble in water and it forms a light green tetrahydrate. It is more nontoxic than iron pentacarbonyl and reactivity is better. Iron (II) acetate maybe used as a
catalyst in organic oxidation reactions and precursor for preparation of other iron compounds.
