What is the melting point of ferrocene?

The melting point of ferrocene is 172.5 degrees C. Its empirical formula is C10H10Fe, and it has a boiling point of 249 degrees C. It is an organometallic compound.

The molecular formula of ferrocene is Fe (C5H5)2, and it was discovered in the 1951. After the discovery of ferrocene, an entire new class of compounds arose called the d-block organometallic compounds. In ferrocene, the carbon atom is bonded to a metal atom such as an atom of Iron (Fe). There are two rings on either side of the atom of iron.

It is used as a fuel additive in petrol engines and in the pharmaceutical industry. Anticancer medications are prepared with ferrocene salts.
