Best Answer

Ferrocene is an organometallic compound because it has two rings of cyclopentadienyl on opposite sides of a metal atom.

What is the structure of the intermediate species that attacks ferrocene to form acetylferrocene?

acylium ion


Why does Fe have a higher melting point than CCl4?

since acetyl ferrocene is attached to an acetyl group, the upper ring is asymmetrical. unlike ferrocene, whose rings are symmetrical (no attached groups) the melting point is higher due to symmetry. aka higher symmetry = higher melting point


What is the reaction mechanism for the synthesis of formyl ferrocene with triethyl orthoformate and AlCl3?

it's a friedel-craft acylation with the triethyl orthoformate being a formyl synthon. the AlCl3 is a Lewis acid, it coordinates the ethoxy group, which is kicked off by the adjacent oxygen. The ferrocene then is the nucleophile and the rest of the reaction is a standard electrophilic aromatic substitution leaving the formyl oxonium, which is quenched to the formyl on work-up. i think that's how it goes anyway, i haven't read the paper.


What are Anti knocking agent in fuel?

'Gasoline' has the potential to ignite too early ('detonate') in high compression combustion engines, producing a 'knocking' or 'ping' effect. The first compound discovered to remedy this effect was tetraethyllead (tetra-ethyl-lead, TEL). This anti-knocking agent therefore came into widespread use in petroleum, but use of this chemical began to be phased out after the toxicity of lead became known. Thus other antiknock agents used instead of tetraethyllead are: ferrocene, iron pentacarbonyl, toluene, MMT (an organomagnesium compound) and several others.

Which one is more polar ferrocene or fluorenone?

Fluorenone is more polar than ferrocene.Ferrocene is non-polar due to its symmetry.


How do you check a reference electrode?

Measure a cyclic voltammogram (CV) of a well-characterized compound, such as ferrocene, whose reduction potential is very well known. If the potential you measure matches the literature value, then your reference electrode is fine. If it does not, then you can determine how far off it is from the difference of where the peaks in the CV should be compared to where you measured them.

What is redox mediator?

A redox mediator is a hyperbranched polymer having redox moieties (e.g. ferrocene) incorporated into its structure and/or chemically bonded to its periphery. It is attached to an electrode and assists in transferring electrons between the electrode and a redox enzyme.


How many C13-NMR signals would you expect to see in acetylferrocene?

there will be three peaks. one for the carbons in ferrocene around 70 -75. one for the carbonyl carbon (around 200) and one for the methyl group in acetyl (around alkyl region).
