Question

Why cyclopentadienyl in ferrocene in aromatic?

Answer 1

Ferrocene's cyclopentadienyl rings arearomatic – each containing 6 delocalized π electrons like benzene. ... That lone pair of electrons joins the 4 electrons from the two π bonds to create a aromaticity in the ring. Figure .

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:Due to the aromatic character of the cyclopentadienyl ligands, ferrocene can undergo electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions typical of aromatic compounds such as benzene. In this experiment you will acetylate ferrocene via the Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction.
