Alkylation of ferrocene with tetrachlorocyclopropene in the presence of AlCl3 followed by aqueous workup affords 2,3‐diferrocenylcyclopropenone in high yield. We have studied some of this ketone’s chemical transformations and electrochemical properties. 2,3‐Diferrocenylcyclopropenone withstands ther...
