Orange Crystals industrial Ferrocene (C10h10fe) CAS 102-54-5

Products Description

What is Orange Crystals Ferrocene (C10h10fe) CAS 102-54-5?

Ferrocene, also known as bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron, is an orange-yellow powder compound with a camphor odor. It has a CAS number of 102-54-5, a molecular formula of C₁₀H₁₀Fe, and a molecular weight of 186.03. This compound features a unique structure where two cyclopentadienyl groups sandwich a central iron atom. This configuration endows it with high thermal stability, allowing it to remain stable below 400°C. However, at temperatures exceeding 400°C, it decomposes and releases irritating smoke.

Ferrocene powder is insoluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as benzene and ethanol. When mixed with dilute nitric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid, it forms a deep red solution that exhibits blue fluorescence.
