Preparation and chemistry
Barium ferrate (anhydrous) can be prepared by precipitation of insoluble BaFeO4 from a solution containing
potassium ferrate andbarium chloride . [Preparation and Analysis of Barium Ferrate(VI) J. R. Gump, W. F. Wagner, and J. M. Scheyer Analytical chemistry. (1954), 26, 12, 1957 ; doi|10.1021/ac60096a027] Barium ferrate is an oxidising agent and has been proposed as a oxidising reagent for use in organic syntheses.
