Ferrocene is an emergent organic-metal hybrid compound, and its accidental discovery has led to the rapid development of organometallic chemistry. Aside from its interesting structure, which consists of an iron atom sandwiched between two pentagonal organic rings, ferrocene has remarkable redox-responsive properties.
