Hunt, C. B. – Education in Chemistry, 1977
This article reviews the discovery of the first of the metallocenes and some of the developments which have taken place in the 25 years following. Applications to topics such as the solution of the polyphenylchromium problem and Alkene polymerisation, are discussed. Ferrocene is studied in detail. (MA)

Reedijk, J.; And Others – Education in Chemistry, 1975
Describes an experiment, for the general chemistry laboratory, intended to introduce the student to infrared spectroscopy. After being introduced to the theory of molecular vibrations on an elementary level, each student receives a list of 5-7 nickel (II) ammines to be prepared, analyzed and characterized by infrared spectoscopy.
