Stannocene is an organometallic compound with the formula Sn(C5H5)2. It appears yellow-brown, and melts around 105 °C.[4]
Chemically, stannocene is a metallocene that can be produced efficiently from cyclopentadienyl sodium and tin(II) chloride.[5] Unlike in ferrocene the two cyclopentadienyl rings are not parallel.[6]
