Octadecanoic acid, iron(2+) salt (2:1)

Description:
Octadecanoic acid, iron(2+) salt (2:1), commonly known as iron stearate, is a coordination compound formed from octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) and iron(II) ions. This substance typically appears as a white to light yellow powder and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Iron stearate is characterized by its ability to act as a surfactant and emulsifier, making it useful in various industrial applications, including cosmetics, lubricants, and as a stabilizer in plastics. It exhibits thermal stability and can decompose at elevated temperatures, releasing stearic acid and iron oxides. Additionally, iron stearate has potential applications in agriculture as a micronutrient source for plants, as iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis. The compound's properties, such as its melting point and specific reactivity, can vary based on its preparation and purity. Overall, iron stearate serves as a versatile compound in both chemical and industrial contexts, leveraging its unique characteristics for diverse applications.
