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.

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
Since the early 1960s ferrocene has been gaining acceptance as the standard reference for nonaqueous work for a number of reasons, and in 1984, IUPAC recommended ferrocene (0/1+) as a standard redox couple. [8] The preparation of the QRE electrode is simple, allowing for a fresh reference to be prepared with each set of experiments.
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.
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 ...
By linking ferrocene units to small silicon-containing dendrimers, some of these first-type dendrimers can be made. [3] Dendritic macromolecules with peripheral ferrocene groups are usually synthesized by linking ferrocene to the core through olefin metathesis or hydrosilylation [1].
