===Redox chemistry===
{{main|Ferrocenium}}
Unlike the majority of organics compounds, ferrocene undergoes a one-electron oxidation at a low potential, around 0.5 V ''vs''. a [[saturated calomel electrode]] (SCE). It is also been used as standard in electrochemistry as Fc+/Fc = 0.64 V vs. 
NSHE. Some [[electron]]-rich organic compounds (e.g., [[aniline]]) also are oxidized at low potentials, but only irreversibly. Oxidation of ferrocene gives a stable cation called ferrocenium. On a preparative scale, the oxidation is conveniently effected with FeCl<sub>3</sub> to give the blue-colored ion, [Fe(C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup>, which is often isolated as its [[hexafluorophosphate|PF<sub>6</sub><sup>(contracted; show full)[[ru:Ферроцен]]
