The behavior of NH4FeCl4 on heating is found to be complex. The iron(III) tends to be reduced by ammonia; however as HCl, a product of the reduction reaction, accumulates, the system stabilizes sufficiently to permit the study of vaporization equilibria. Absorption spectroscopy, mass spectrometery, and diaphragm gauge measurement of total pressures have been used to determine the composition of the vapor phase, and thermodynamic data for the reactions NH4FeCl4(C) = NH3FeCl3(g) + HCl(g) and NH4FeCl3(C) = FeCl2(s) + NH3(g) + HCl(g) are reported. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of NH3FeCl3 between 240 and 500 nm is given.
