Acetylferrocene is the organoiron compound with the formula (C 5 H 5)Fe(C 5 H 4 COCH 3). It consists of ferrocene substituted by an acetyl group on one of the cyclopentadienyl rings. It is an orange, air-stable solid that is soluble in organic solvents.
Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C 5 H 5) 2.The molecule is a complex consisting of two cyclopentadienyl rings sandwiching a central iron atom. It is an orange solid with a camphor-like odor that sublimes above room temperature, and is soluble in most organic solvents.
Space-filling model of ferrocene, the archetypal sandwich compound. In organometallic chemistry, a sandwich compound is a chemical compound featuring a metal bound by haptic, covalent bonds to two arene (ring) ligands. The arenes have the formula C n H n, substituted derivatives (for example C n (CH 3) n) and heterocyclic derivatives (for ...
A famous example of this type of complex is ferrocene (FeCp 2), which has many analogues for other metals, such as chromocene (CrCp 2), cobaltocene (CoCp 2), and nickelocene (NiCp 2). When the Cp rings are mutually parallel the compound is known as a sandwich complex. This area of organometallic chemistry was first developed in
In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.
Ferrocenecarboxaldehyde, owing to the versatility of the formyl group, is a precursor to many ferrocene-modified compounds. With a Wittig reagent, it converts to vinylferrocene and related derivatives. [5] With primary amines, ferrocenecarboxaldehyde condenses to give imines. The azomethine derivative undergoes 1,3-cycloaddition to C 60. [6]
Polarizability usually refers to the tendency of matter, when subjected to an electric field, to acquire an electric dipole moment in proportion to that applied field. It is a property of particles with an electric charge.
Ferrocene contains two η 5-cyclopentadienyl ligands. In coordination chemistry, hapticity is the coordination of a ligand to a metal center via an uninterrupted and contiguous series of atoms. [1] The hapticity of a ligand is described with the Greek letter η ('eta'). For example, η 2 describes a ligand that coordinates through 2 contiguous ...
