Manganocene or bis(cyclopentadienyl)manganese(II) is an organometallic compound of manganese. It is a metallocene.In the solid state manganocene adopts a polymeric structure with every manganese atom coordinated by three cyclopentadienyl ligands two of which are bridging ligands. This compound has an electron count of 17; it is readily reduced to Cp2Mn− which has an ideal electron count of 18 (see 18-electron rule).This metallocene is commercially available.
