Ferrocene Synthesis and Electron Count

Ferrocene synthesis and electron count are the focus of this high school chemistry experiment. Ferrocene is an organometallic compound, which means it contains a metal bonded to carbon-based groups. It was first reported in 1951 by Kealy and Pauson in Nature.
