Experiment #6 Synthesis of Ferrocene Prior reading: Bruice, Chapter 14: Aromaticity, p.640-649, Bruice, Ch 7:Dienes, p.301-334 Introduction Ferrocene is a stable, yellow organometallic compound, C10H10Fe. When it was first discovered in 1951 there was a considerable amount of debate about the structure of this compound. An early proposal was that the divalent iron makes two Fe-C bonds to cyclopentadienyl rings. However, it was soon shown to consist of two 5-membered rings sandwiched around an iron atom. One way to represent this compound is as a two cyclopentadienylanions, C5H5-, and a
