| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the ferrosesquicyanuret of potassium' by Alfred Smee |
| Date | 10 January 1840 |
| Description | Smee examines the action of chlorine upon the ferrocyanate of potassa [potassium ferrocyanide], and the conversion of the latter into ferrosesquicyanuret. He proposes methods for obtaining uncontaminated ferrosesquicyanuret. He includes an appendix detailing the action of the sodo ferrocyanate of potash on a series of metals.
