This experiment details the synthesis of the coordination complex potassium tris(oxalato)ferrate(III) trihydrate, $K_3[Fe(C_2O_4)_3]\cdot 3H_2O$. The synthesis was achieved via a two-step process involving the preparation of ferrous oxalate intermediate followed by oxidation and coordination in the presence of excess oxalate. The product was characterized by yield calculation, visual inspection of color, and qualitative chemical tests to confirm the presence of iron(III) and oxalate ligands. The synthesis resulted in emerald-green crystals with a percentage yield of [Insert %]. Inorganic Experiments Woollins.pdf
