QUICK LINKS

Ferrocenium tetrafluoroborate operates by initiating electron transfer from the cyclopenta-1,3-diene ligand to the iron(III) cation. This transfer leads to the creation of a stable cyclopenta-1,3-diene-iron(III) complex, which is further fortified by the tetrafluoroborate anion. This complex exhibits catalytic properties, enabling it to facilitate the intended reaction.
