(contracted; show full)#x27; is an [[organometallic compound]] with the formula Fe(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>. It is the prototypical [[metallocene]], a type of [[organometallic chemistry|organometallic]] [[chemistry|chemical]] compound consisting of two [[cyclopentadienyl complex|cyclopentadienyl]] rings bound on opposite sides of a central [[metal]] atom. Such organometallic compounds are also known as [[sandwich compound]]s.<ref>{{cite journal|doi = 10.1002/chin.200443242
