Ferrocene and its numerous derivatives have no large-scale applications, but have many niche uses that exploit their unusual structure (ligand scaffolds, pharmaceutical candidates), robustness (anti-knock formulations, precursors to materials), and redox reactions (reagents and redox standards). Use for global cooling has been proposed. [17]
The hazards of TEL content are heightened due to the compound's volatility and high lipophilicity, enabling it to easily cross the blood–brain barrier. Early symptoms of acute exposure to tetraethyllead can manifest as irritation of the eyes and skin, sneezing, fever, vomiting, and a metallic taste in the mouth.
[32] [65] The Genouds spent the next four days cleaning up the scene, removing the blood residue, and preparing for death.

[22] The Genouds ingested soporifics, before dying of asphyxiation from smoke inhalation when the ...
1,2-Dibromoethane has wider applications in the preparation of other organic compounds including those carrying modified diazocine rings [9] and vinyl bromide that is a precursor to some fire retardants. [4] In organic synthesis, 1,2-dibromoethane is used to brominate carbanions and to activate magnesium for certain Grignard reagents.

Thomas Midgley Jr. (May 18, 1889 – November 2, 1944) was an American mechanical and chemical engineer.He played a major role in developing leaded gasoline (tetraethyl lead) and some of the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), better known in the United States by the brand name Freon; both products were later banned from common use due to their harmful impact on human health and the environment.
