Ferrocen
Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C5H5)2, consisting of an iron atom bonded to two cyclopentadienyl (C5H5) rings. It is one of the most well-known and widely studied organometallic compounds. Ferrocene was first synthesized in 1951 by Geoffrey Wilkinson and his research team at Imperial College London. The compound is notable for its sandwich structure, where the iron atom is sandwiched between the two cyclopentadienyl rings. This structure is a classic example of a metal-arene complex.
Ferrocene is a diamagnetic compound, meaning it does not have any unpaired electrons and is not attracted
