Potassium ferrocyanide is the potassium salt of the coordination complex. This salt forms lemon-yellow monoclinic crystals.
Historically, the compound was manufactured from organic compounds containing nitrogen, iron filings, and potassium carbonate. Common nitrogen and carbon sources were torrified horn, leather scrap, offal, or dried blood.
Applications
Potassium ferrocyanide finds many niche applications in the industry. It and the related sodium salt are widely used as anticaking agents for both road salt and table salt. The potassium and sodium ferrocyanides are also used in the purification of tin and the separation of copper from molybdenum ores. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in the production of wine and citric acid.
In the laboratory, potassium ferrocyanide is used to determine the concentration of potassium permanganate, a compound often used in titrations based on redox reactions. Potassium ferrocyanide is used in a mixture with potassium ferricyanide and phosphate-buffered solution to provide a buffer for beta-galactosidase, which is used to cleave X-Gal, giving a bright blue visualization where an antibody (or other molecules), conjugated to Beta-gal, has bonded to its target. On reacting with Fe it gives a Prussian blue color. Thus it is used as an identifying reagent for iron in labs.
