(contracted; show full)g [[iron(III) chloride]] and a [[Grignard reaction|Grignard reagent]], cyclopentadienyl magnesium bromide.  Iron(III) chloride is suspended in [[anhydrous]] [[diethyl ether]] and added to the Grignard reagent, which is prepared by reacting [[cyclopentadiene]] with magnesium and [[bromoethane]] in anhydrous [[benzene]].<ref name = "Pauson_Kealy" />  An iron(III) salt was chosen as they sought to couple the cyclopentadienyl [[moiety (chemistry)|moieties]] to form dihydrofulvalene and then ful
lvalene, but ferrocene was formed instead as the oxidative formation of dihydrofulvalene also produced iron(II) by reduction, which in turn reacts with the Grignard.
