==Synthesis== ==Synthesis==


The compound is synthesised by reacting ], CH<sub>3</sub>NH<sub>3</sub>Cl, with anhydrous ] and adding ] with heating. Crystals of the product, which precipitate as the solvent evaporates, are collected and dried using vacuum ].<ref name=Clausen/>
To synthesize 13.3 g of compound


==Infrared analysis==
Add 9.94g methyl ammonium chloride, 5.04g anhydrous iron chloride into a 400 mL beaker. Add 68 mL of HCl. Heat on a low setting 2/10 on a hot plate for 3 hours. The crystals will precipitate after enough solvent has vaporized. To dry product use vacuum filtration using a Buchner funnel, a water aspirator, and fine porosity filter paper. Dry the product overnight in a vacuum dessicator .


There is a series of bands from 3129 to 2830&nbsp;cm<sup>−1</sup> that represent stretching modes of the nitrogen–hydrogen bonds. In addition, a distinct peak is found at 2517&nbsp;cm<sup>−1</sup>, whereas the corresponding signal for methylammonium chloride is at 2476&nbsp;cm<sup>−1</sup>.<ref name=James/><ref>"methyl ammonium chloride" http://riodb01.ibase.aist.go.jp/sdbs/cgi-bin/direct_frame_top.cgi</ref> The 31&nbsp;cm<sup>−1</sup> shift is due to the coordination of an ammonium hydrogen with the hexachloroferrate(III).

==Infrared Analysis==

There is a series of nitrogen hydrogen amine stretching from 3129-2830 cm-1. In addition a distinct peak is found at 2517 cm-1 which corresponds well with the peak at 2476 cm-1 for methylammonium chloride and the literature estimate of a peak present near 2500 cm-1 <ref>"methyl ammonium chloride" http://riodb01.ibase.aist.go.jp/sdbs/cgi-bin/direct_frame_top.cgi</ref>,. The 31 cm-1 shift indicates changes in the methylammonium chloride due to coordination with chlorine in the product crystals.
