metalloceneyhdisteissä
Metalloceneyhdisteet are organometallic compounds that contain at least one cyclopentadienyl ring bound to a metal atom. The most famous example is ferrocene, where an iron atom is sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings. These compounds are characterized by their unique bonding, often described as aromatic or "sandwich" structures. The metal atom in metallocenes is typically in a low oxidation state.
The synthesis of metallocenes usually involves the reaction of a metal halide with a cyclopentadienyl anion,
Metalloceneyhdisteet have found applications in various fields. They are used as catalysts in polymerization reactions, particularly
