A variety of organically templated iron phosphates, of interest because of their rich crystal chemistry and their ability to absorb large molecules in their micropores, were prepared using this compound, chloride hydrometallurgy (Silgarin process for the production of silicon), production of precursors for polyvinyl chloride and copper-based metals in printed circuit boards, plays an important role in photoengraving and photography as an etching agent, useful in the detection of phenols and phenolic derivatives; gamma-hydroxybutyric acids and also in the Trinder spot test for detecting salicylic acids, used for arsenic removal in drinking water production, used as a leaching agent in chloride hydrometallurgy, as the catalyst for the synthesis of ethylene dichloride from the reaction of ethylene with chlorine, it is commonly employed as a Lewis acid for catalyzing reactions such as chlorination of aromatic compounds and Friedel–Crafts reaction of aromatics, can be used as a traditional colorimetric test for phenols, also be applied for the determination of total cholesterol and cholesterol esters, and amino acids in urine, it can be used to induce arterial thrombosis for thrombosis research, used for decolorization of disperse and reactive dye solutions.
