INTRODUCTION
The complex iron(ll) tris oxalato ferrate(lI) is well
known[l]. A ferric oxalate having the composition
Fe2(C204)3"SH20 has also been reported[2]. It is a
canary yellow microcrystalline powder and does not give
the test for oxalate ion and shows only a weak reaction
of ferric ion with potassium iodide or thiocyanate. A
comprehensive review of metal oxalato complexes may
be found elsewhere[3]. The thermal decomposition of
the oxalato complexes of nickel, cobalt and copper has
been reported[4]. Thermal decomposition of tris oxalato
ferrate(lll) and analbgous tris oxalato complexes of Cr,
Co and Rh have also been extensively studied [5--8]. But
the complex iron(Ill) tris oxalato ferrate(III) does not
appear to have been studied.
