Ferrate

Ferrate loosely refers to a material that can be viewed as containing anionic iron complexes. The term ferrate derives from Latin ferrum 'iron'.

Examples include tetrachloroferrate (FeCl₄²⁻), oxyanions (e.g. FeO₄²⁻), and the organoferrates, including highly reduced tetracarbonylferrate ([Fe(CO)₄]²⁻) salts.^{[page needed]} Although rarely studied, ferrate(V) FeO₄³⁻ and ferrate(IV) FeO₄⁴⁻) oxyanions of iron also exist. These too are called ferrates.

Disodium salt of tetracarbonylferrate
Structure of ferrate(VI), FeO₄²⁻)
1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium salt of FeCl₄⁻)
Potassium tris(oxalato)ferrate

Ferrate(VI) is a strong oxidizer, used in water purification and battery technology.
