Iron(III) chloride (FeCl3), also called ferric chloride, is an industrial scale commodity chemical compound with iron in the +3 oxidation state. The compound also exist as a hexahydrate with the formula trans-[Fe(H2O)4Cl2]Cl · 2H2O normally written as FeCl3 · 6H
2O. The anhydrous compound is a crystalline solid with a melting point of 307.6 °C. The color depends on the viewing angle: by reflected light the crystals appear dark green, but by transmitted light they appear purple-red. The hexahydrate has a melting point of 37 °C and appears orange-brown in color. In nature, iron(III) chloride is known as the mineral molysite, but it is rare and mainly found from some fumaroles. It is however an industrial scale commodity.
