乙酸亚铁是铁的白色或浅棕色固体离子化合物。它极易溶于水，形成浅绿色的四水合物。与五羰基铁相比，它更加无毒，反应性也更好。 应用 乙酸亚铁可用作：有机氧化反应中的催化剂、媒染剂、用于制备其它铁化合物的前体、碳纳米管合成催化剂。 Iron (II) acetate 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. ron (II) acetate maybe used as a: catalyst in organic oxidation reactions, mordant, precursor for preparation of other iron compounds, catalyst for synthesis of carbon nanotubes.
