1.4, Ferrocene structural formula:
1.5, Physical and chemical properties: Orange needle-shaped crystals, boiling point 249℃, sublimation above 100℃, insoluble in water. Stable in air, has strong absorption of ultraviolet rays, and is relatively stable to heat. Crystalline ferrocene has better solubility than powdered ferrocene
Function and use of ferrocene：
1) It can be used to make synthetic ammonia catalysts, silicone resins and rubber curing agents.
2) It can be used as an energy-saving smoke suppressant and anti-explosion agent for fuel. It is often used in various fuels, such as diesel, gasoline, heavy oil, coal, etc. Ferrocene addition ratio: Adding 0.1% ferrocene to automotive diesel can save 10-14% of fuel oil and reduce the smoke density in the exhaust gas by 30-80%. Adding 0.03% ferrocene to methanol can make artificial liquefied gas with a combustion value of 3372-38656 KJ-KG, while adding 0.3% ferrocene to heavy oil and 0.2% ferrocene to coal can reduce fuel consumption and reduce smoke density by 30%. This is mainly because the iron decomposed from ferrocene is deposited on the surface of the spark plug, which enhances its thermal conductivity and makes the burning rate more sufficient.
3) It can replace the toxic tetraethylene lead in gasoline as an anti-knock agent to prepare high-grade unleaded gasoline to eliminate the pollution of fuel emissions to the environment and the toxicity to the human body.
4) It is used as a radiation absorber, heat stabilizer, light stabilizer and smoke inhibitor. (Some derivatives of ferrocene can prevent the degradation of polyethylene by light. When used in agricultural mulch, it can be naturally degraded and broken within a certain period of time without affecting farming
