The synthesis typically proceeds through an intermediate. First, iron(II) ammonium sulfate reacts with oxalic acid to form yellow ferrous oxalate. This intermediate is then oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of potassium oxalate to form the final Iron(III) complex. The reaction is advantageous for teaching labs as it demonstrates ligand substitution, oxidation-reduction, and crystallization techniques.

The synthesis typically involves the reaction of PhPCl(_2) with a source of Se(^2-) ions under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon).
