Шаблон:Chembox Ferrocenecarboxylic acid is the organoiron compound with the formula Шаблон:Chem2. It is the simplest carboxylic acid derivative of ferrocene. It can be prepared in two steps from ferrocene by acylation with a 2-chlorobenzoyl chloride followed by hydrolysis.[1]
Reactions and derivatives
The pKa of ferrocenecarboxylic acid is 7.8. The acidity increases more than a thousand-fold, to pH 4.54 upon oxidation to the ferrocenium cation.[2]
By treatment with thionyl chloride, the carboxylic acid anhydride (Шаблон:Chem2) is produced.[3][4]
Derivatives of ferrocenecarboxylic acid are components of some redox switches.
