what kind complex does form in this reaction- FeCl3+KSCN+H2O :rarrow: ? I used to think it is [Fe(SCN)(H2O)3]Cl2 but now I know it is wrong..

are you sure both thiocyanide AND chloride are present in the complex?

I'm thinking [Fe(SCN)3H2O] and KCl

It depends on amount of KSCN. (up to K2[Fe(SCN)5H2O])

"The blood-red colour produced by mixing aqueous solutions of Fe(III) and SCN^- (and which provides a well-known test for Fe(III)) is largely due to
[Fe(SCN)(H2O)5]^2+ but, in addition to this, the simple salt Fe(SCN)3 and salts of complexes such as [Fe(SCN)4]^- and Fe(SCN)6]^3- can also
be isolated."
