Iron(II) cyanide is aninorganic compound with theempirical formula Fe(CN)2. It may have a Fe2[Fe(CN)6] structure.[1][better source needed]
Iron(II) cyanide can be produced by dissolvingammonium ferrocyanide at 320 °C.
3 (NH4)4Fe(CN)6 → Fe2Fe(CN)6 + 12 NH4CN
Iron(II) cyanide can react withpotassium hydroxide solvent to produceiron(II) hydroxide andpotassium ferrocyanide.[1]
Fe2Fe(CN)6 + 4 KOH → 2 Fe(OH)2 + K4Fe(CN)6
