As expected for a symmetric and uncharged species, ferrocene is soluble in normal organic solvents, such as benzene, but is insoluble in water. Ferrocene is an [[air]]-stable orange solid that readily [[Sublimation (phase transition)|sublimes]], especially upon heating in a vacuum. It is stable to temperatures as high as 400&nbsp;°C.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Solomons|first1= Graham|first2= Craig|last2= Fryhle |title=Organic Chemistry |edition=9th |location=USA |publisher=John Wiley & Sons|date(contracted; show full){{commons category|ferrocene}}
