ferrocene (plural ferrocenes)
Any of a class of metallocenes containing an iron atom between two cyclopentadienyl rings; especially the simplest of the class bis-cyclopentadienyl iron.
For example, Friedel-Crafts acylation of ferrocene with acetic anhydride yields acetylferrocene citation just as acylation of benzene yields acetophenone under similar conditions. Source: Internet
Derivatives main After the discovery of ferrocene, the synthesis and characterization of derivatives of metallocene and other sandwich compounds attracted researchers’ interests. Source: Internet
Consequently, the initial challenge was to definitively determine the structure of ferrocene in the hope that its bonding and properties would then be understood. Source: Internet
Fischer et al. first prepared the ferrocene derivatives involving Co and Ni. Source: Internet
