Potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) complex has octahedron geometry, and the ions are kinetically unstable due to dissociation in the solution. It also has monoclinic and orthorhombic crystals showed only one doublet on the spectrum in phases of high and low temperatures. The compound has photosensitive characteristics, it possesses bioelectric chemical properties, but they are poorly oxidized by common oxidizing reagent. The polytype of K3[Fe(CN)6] are discussed in reference to cobalt salts by…
