Abstract

This work is a continuation of previous studies concerning the behaviour of ferrocene in a mixture of two insoluble liquids. In this paper, the system reached partition equilibrium after approximately 175 min. Electroanalytical studies were executed, and a high reproducibility was observed in a range of concentrations from 2 to 14 x 10(-5) mol L-1 of ferrocene that escaped from the oil to the aqueous phase. Because ferrocene most likely occurs only in the monomeric form in both the oil and aqueous phases, it was possible to predict a partition coefficient (log P-(oil/water)) of ferrocene of approximately 2.4.
