Preparation of Ferrous acetate: it is prepared by reaction of iron pentacarbonyl. Firstly, iron pentacarbonyl newly distilled is dissolved in solution composed of acetic acid, acetic anhydride and DMF. Then the reaction mixture is heated to 95 °C until gas is realeased. Secondly, the mixture is slowly heated to 115-120 °C for 60 hours. The reactant is cooled, crystallized and washed by DMF. At last, product is obtained by drying.
