Product details
Ferrocene is a crystal with orange needle-like structure that sublimates at temperatures higher than 100℃ and melts at 172.5-173℃. Its boiling point is 249℃. It is soluble in dilute nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, benzene, petroleum and tetrahydrofuran and generates bluish fluorescence-containing deep red solution in dilute nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. It is insoluble in water, 10% sodium hydroxide and hot concentrated hydrochloric acid, and it remains stable in air. Ferrocene has a strong property of UV absorbing and great thermostability, withstanding heating up to 470℃. It has a camphor-like scent and can be evaporated with water vapor. Ferrocene is neither dissolved nor decomposed in boiling solutions of these solvents.

Production Methods
Ferrocene is produced from the reaction of cyclopentadiene with reduced iron in the presence of metal oxides. There is also a two-stage production process in which produced iron (II)oxide (stage 1) is reacted with cyclopentadiene.
