You've got alot of stuff here KD'C. First, it's usually not a good idea to think of an ion in a vacuum so to speak because within an angstrom or two there is the oppositely charged ion. So if if you're talking about Fe+++ (for example), you ALREADY have O-- (or some other 'ide') right next to it from the get go. Second, in order go apply an electric current AND have something happen you need some degree of conductivity and Fe2O3, or Fe3O4, or FeO are insulators.
