Cobaltocene known also as bis(cyclopentadienyl)cobalt(II) or even bis Cp cobalt is an organocobalt compound with the formula Co(C5H5)2. It is a dark purple solid that sublimes readily slightly above room temperature. Cobaltocene was discovered shortly after ferrocene the first metallocene. Due to the ease with which it reacts with O2 the compound must be handled and stored using air-free techniques.
