Ferrocene, CAS 102-54-5, is a kind of metal organic compound. Under normal temperature, it is orange powder with camphor smell; its melting point is 172℃-174℃, boiling point 49℃. Ferrocene, CAS 102-54-5, is insoluble in water, 10% sodium hydroxide and hot concentrated hydrochloric acid. It is easily soluble in organic solvents, such as diluted nitric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, benzene, diethyl ether, petroleum ether, diesel, tetrahydrofuran. It is stable and has strong ultraviolet absorption effect.
Ferrocene, CAS 102-54-5, is used as energy saving combustion-supporting additive in various fuels, such as diesel, gasoline, heavy oil and coal. It can be applied as additive of rocket fuel, antidetonant of gasoline, curing agent of rubber and silicon resin, and ultraviolet light absorbing agent. Ferrocene, CAS 102-54-5, is also used as ammonia catalyst and iron fertilizer to benefit plant absorption. Ferrocene is toxic and should be kept in cool, dry and ventilated warehouse, separated from oxidants.
