===Redox chemistry===
Unlike the majority of hydrocarbons, ferrocene undergoes a one-electron oxidation at a low potential, around 0.5 V ''vs''. a [[saturated calomel electrode]] (SCE). Some [[electron]] rich hydrocarbons (e.g., [[aniline]]) also are oxidized at low potentials, but only irreversibly. Oxidation of ferrocene gives a stable cation called ferrocenium.
