Iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) is an inorganic compound. It is one of the three main types of iron oxide. The other two are the rare iron (II) oxide (FeO) and the naturally occurring iron (II, III) oxide (Fe3O4), found in the mineral magnetite. In the steel industry Fe2O3 is the primary source of iron. In addition to being ferromagnetic, Fe2O3 is easily attacked by acids.
Application
Iron (III) oxide is used:
As a catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes.
As an oxidizing agent in the synthesis of [11C] Phosgene ([11C] COCl2).

Stable zinc-doped iron(III) oxide thin films that exhibit p-type behavior were synthesized by spray pyrolytic deposition (SPD) on conducting indium-doped tin oxide-coated glass substrate. The highest photocurrent density of 1.1 mA/cm2 was observed at an illumination intensity of 40 mW/cm2
