'''Ferrous oxalate''', or '''iron(II) oxalate''', is a chemical compound consisting of one iron(II) ion (Fe<sup>2+</sup>) and one oxalate ion (C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>). It has the ] Fe. '''Ferrous oxalate''' ('''iron(II) oxalate''') are ] with the formula FeC<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>(H<sub>2</sub>O)<sub>x</sub> where x is 0 or 2. These are orange compounds, poorly soluble in water.


==Structure and reactions==
Iron(II) oxalate is more commonly encountered as the dihydrate, Fe·2H<sub>2</sub>O, CAS # 6047-25-2. Its crystal structure consists of chains of oxalate-bridged iron atoms, capped by water molecules.<ref>{{ cite journal | first1 = Takuya | last1 = Echigo | first2 = Mitsuyoshi | last2 = Kimata | title = Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic studies on humboldtine and lindbergite: weak Jahn–Teller effect of Fe<sup>2+</sup> ion | journal = ] | year = 2008 | volume = 35 | pages = 467–475 | doi = 10.1007/s00269-008-0241-7 }}</ref> Like other iron oxalates, ferrous oxalates feature octahedral Fe centers.
