Cerocene is a metal organic compound of cerium with the chemical formula Ce(C₅H₅)₃. It is the most unstable of the lanthanocenes in dry air. It, and the other lanthanocenes, is different from cyclopentadiene complexes of general transition metals and is considered to be ionically bonded.^[1]

Preparation edit

Cerocene can be obtained by reacting anhydrous cerium chloride and sodium cyclopentadienide in a tetrahydrofuran medium:^[1]

3C₅H₅Na + CeCl₃ → (C₅H₅)₃Ce+ 3 NaCl

Chemical properties edit

Cerocene decomposes when exposed to water to produce cerium(III) hydroxide and cyclopentadiene.

Related compounds edit

There are literature reports on the synthesis^[2] and properties^[3] of the tetravalent cerium compound Ce(C₅H₅)₄, but it has been pointed out that the synthesis method is not credible.^[4]^[5]
