Application

Catalyst for synthesis of:
  • Fullerene-fused lactones
  • α-Carbonyl furans via one-pot cyclization
  • Fullerodioxolanes via heterocyclization
  • Dialylated indoles via double alkylation
  • Aryl esters via oxidative esterification

Used as chemical actinometer based on photolysis of ferrioxalate in presence of polyoxometalate in aqueous solution

Oxidant for conducting polymer nanoparticles synthesized in ionic liquid by chemical polymerization
Iron(III) perchlorate hydrate is a useful starting material for the synthesis of a tris-salicylate Fe(III) complex having bidentate chelating units and in photolysis of ferrioxalate in presence of polyoxometalate in aqueous solution.

It can be used as a catalyst for synthesis of:
  • Fullerene-fused lactones
  • α-Carbonyl furans via one-pot cyclization
  • Fullerodioxolanes via heterocyclization
  • Fulleroxazolidines
  • Dialylated indoles via double alkylation
  • Aryl esters via oxidative esterification

Useful starting material for the synthesis of a tris-salicylate Fe(III) complex having bidentate chelating units which allow two coordination modes.
