Question

discuss brefily the structure of ferrocene on the basis of. molecular theory​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ferrocene is one of the most stable organometallic compounds with a sandwich-shaped structure and the most useful one among metallocenes due to a reversible redox properties and two rotatory coplanar cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings.The symmetry of ferrocene is D5d, in which the two, planar, cyclopentadienyl rings are staggered with respect to each other.⁎ Each ring has a delocalised π-system built from the pz orbitals on carbon. Both rings bond symmetrically to the iron through each of the five carbon atoms, in what is termed an η5- (“eta-5”) mode.
