YT-05 FerroceneⅠ. Introduction: Ferrocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Fe(C5H5)2. It is the prototypical compound consisting of two cyclopentadienyl rings bound on opposite sides of a central metalatom. Such organometallic compounds are also known as sandwich compounds. The rapid growth of organometallic chemistry is often attributed to the exitement arising from the discovery of ferrocene and its many analogues.

Antiknock principle:Ferrocene and its derivatives are antiknock agents used in the fuel for petrol engines; they are safer than tetraethyllead,Website:http://www.yiteng-chemical.com, previously used. It is a petrol additive solution which contains ferrocene which can be added to unleaded petrol to enable it to be used in vintage cars which were designed to run on leaded petrol. The iron containing deposits formed from ferrocene can form a conductive coating on the spark plug surfaces.Ⅳ. Handling and Storage:Handling:Wash thoroughly after handling.
