| Molecular weight | 186.03 |
|---|---|
| Linear formula | Fe(C5H5)2 |
| Assay | 98% |
| Boiling point | 249 °C(lit.) |
| Vapour pressure | 0.03 mmHg (40 °C) |
| Application | Synthetic reagent used as as a source of useful ferrocene derivatives, including most substituted ferrocenes and precursor of substituted cyclopentadienes and cyclopentanes; the derived ferrocenium salts find use as mild oxidants; replacement of one ring by arenes yields cationic complexes which undergo nucleophilic addition and substitution at the arene ring, leading to substituted arenes. |
| Melting point | 172-174 °C(lit.) |
