Ferrocyanide is the name of the anion (HREF="http://www.kotoba.ne.jp/word/11/cyanide" TITLE="cyanide">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. ()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. ==Reactions== Treatment of ferrocyanide with ferric-containing salts gives the intensely coloured pigment Prussian blue 〔 (sometimes called ferric ferrocyanide and ferrous ferricyanide). Ferrocyanide may undergo oxidation, resulting in ferricyanide: :()4− (unicode:⇌) ()3− + e− This conversion can be followed spectroscopically at 420 nm, since ferrocyanide has negligible absorption while ferricyanide has an extinction coefficient of 1040 M−1 cm−1.〔Appleby, C.
