CAS 13601-19-9

Chemical Formula Na₄[Fe(CN)₆]•10H₂O

Molecular Weight 484.05 g/mol (decahydrate form)

Sodium ferrocyanide is a yellow, crystalline compound. It is also known by the name yellow prussiate of soda. Despite containing cyanide, it is considered relatively non-toxic due to the stable bonding of the cyanide ions with iron. The ferrocyanides are less toxic than many salts of cyanide, because they tend not to release free cyanide.
