| Application: | Iron is generally used as a catalyst for wide variety of organic transformations. It has been used for the synthesis of magnetic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for automated microcontact printing of biomolecules. Iron can also be used: • For the removal of arsenate from water. • To synthesize Fe(III) iodide catalyst for thioglycosylation of peracetylated saccharides. • As a catalyst for the graphitization for microscale radiocarbon analysis of small samples. • For the removal of nitroaromatic pesticides by reduction. |
