Abstract
Some of the most important features of ferrocene chemistry - structure, reactivity, redox properties, and applications - are presented. Their value in the context of conveying many fundamental aspects of molecular chemistry is considered.
Highlights
Ferrocene remains a prominently topical molecule serving the teaching of many different aspects of chemistry
Some of the most important features of ferrocene chemistry – structure, reactivity, redox properties, and applications – are presented
Both research groups postulated the same wrong structure,[4] i.e. having only one carbon atom of each cyclopentadienyl ring interacting with the iron atom, thereby implying a polar C-Fe σ-bond
Summary
Ferrocene remains a prominently topical molecule serving the teaching of many different aspects of chemistry Abstract: Some of the most important features of ferrocene chemistry – structure, reactivity, redox properties, and applications – are presented. Despite its age and for many reasons, some of which will become apparent here, ferrocene remains eminently important when teaching organometallic chemistry.
