Description and Uses

Ferrocene, a metallocene, is a bright orangesalt-like crystals from alcohol with a camphor odor.Molecular weight = 186.05; Boiling point = 249 C (sublimes); Freezing/Melting point = 173 C. Decomposes at465 C. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704 MRating System): Health 2, Flammability 2, Reactivity 1.Insoluble in water.

Ferrocene is used as a catalyst for vulcanization, acceleration, and polymerization, as a chemical intermediate for polymeric compounds such as high temperature polymers, as an antiknock additive for gasoline, as a coating for missiles and satellites, and as a high-temperature lubricant.
