Abstract
We report a simple method for purifying large amounts of iodoferrocene, synthesized in one step from ferrocene. Halogenated ferrocene derivatives have been known for some time, but are commonly not purified, as obtaining pure samples typically requires multiple steps and often involves use of highly toxic organomercury complexes. The purification described here takes advantage of the increased oxidation potential of iodoferrocene, relative to ferrocene.
