... Manual" Dartmouth College. pp. 95-8. Macroscale and Microscale Organic Experiments, 4th ed. By K.L. Williamson. pp. 606-8 Theory: The product of the reaction is an aromatic compound which exhibits the thermodynamic and kinetic stability expected for the delocalized pi electron systems. Like other aromatic compounds ferrocene will undergo substitution reactions in preference to addition reactions. The aromicity ... of ferrocene is formed when the 6 outer shell electrons of the ferrous ion combine with the 12 pi electrons of the two cyclopentadiene anion. This combination satisfies Huckel...
