Application

Iron(III) p-toluenesulfonate hexahydrate (Fe(CH3C6H4SO3)3·6H2O) can be used:
  • As an oxidant in the synthesis of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanofilms by vapor phase polymerization.
  • In the synthesis of iron(III) complex of pyridoxal-4-methylthiosemicarbazone.
  • As a precursor material for the synthesis of Fe, N, and S functionalized carbon electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction.
  • As an oxidant in the synthesis of poly(thiophene phenylenes) (PThP).
