  Ferrocene
Since ferrocene is credited with the rapid acceleration of modern organotransition metal chemistry (1,2) and the cyclopentadienyl group is extensively used as a stabilizing ligand, it is only fitting that the synthesis of ferrocene be incorporated into an advanced undergraduate inorganic laboratory.
Ferrocene is synthesized with a modification of the preparation reported by Jolly (3).
The main difference between the spectra of ferrocene and acetylferrocene is of course the appearance of a carbonyl stretch at 1736 cm-1 that is present in the acetylferrocene and absent in the ferrocene.

 Organometallic chemistry and catalysis experiment
Ferrocene shows a singlet at 4.19173 ppm which corresponds to the protons in the Cp rings of ferrocene.
Ferrocene is nonpolar while acetyl ferrocene is more polar than it, ferrocene should dissolve very well in nonpolar petroleum ether while acetyl ferrocene should dissolve best in ethyl acetate, which is quite polar.
This is because ethyl ether has intermediate polarity which dissolves both ferrocene and acetyl ferrocene to similar extent, so, the 2 compounds travel with similar speeds with the solvent, and cannot be separated well.

 HISTORY OF MAXIMIZER -Eagle Marketing's unique fuel additives
Ferrocene caused a lot of excitement in the scientific community and for ten years was studied as an anti-knock additive for gasoline.
Commercial use of the Ferrocene as a fuel additive was abandoned at this time because the Ferrocene catalyst needed more refinement to be viable as a combustion modifier fuel additive.
He accomplished this by using a refined catalyst derived from Ferrocene in combination with several other chemicals to produce a liquid that could be applied directly to the fuel tank of a vehicle or to a bulk storage tank.

Although the presence of the metal atom confers some unusual properties on ferrocene, the cyclopentadienyl rings undergo many reactions typical of aromatic compounds.
In particular, ferrocene efficiently undergoes Friedel-Crafts acylation, and it is this reaction that you will investigate.
Unfortunately, these acylation conditions are not general - it is the relatively high reactivity of ferrocene, compared to simpler aromatic substrates, which allows the replacement of AlCl3 with phosphoric acid.
