Making Metallocenes - Organometallic Sandwiches

Sign up for The Column, a free email newsletter about the chemical industry! In this video I am doing syntheses to make Ferrocene, Stannocene, Cobaltocene and Manganocene. Ferrocene and Stannocene are relatively simple to produce, but both cobaltocene and manganocene are air-sensitive. This is why these compounds are much more challenging to make. Especially when hot, these compounds will degrade extremely fast in air. Support my channel with patreon: Support my channel by becoming a member
