Build an eclipsed conformation with the Indigo® 68821W point group molecular model kit to show demonstrate D5h symmetry, pentagonal planar geometry, and σh mirror plane reflections. This kit is Ideal for symmetry, organometallic chemistry, and inorganic chemistry courses.

The Indigo® 68821W ferrocene (Fe(C5H5)2) eclipsed conformation model is an example of the D5h point group. It shows all symmetry elements such as the identity operation E, the principal iron atom C5 axis and the centers of both cyclopentadienyl rings. It also illusturates four additional C5 rotations, five perpendicular C2 axes through the iron atom as well as opposite carbons on both rings. Lastly, one can see the horizontal mirror plane σh, five vertical mirror planes σv and the improper rotation axes S5. Other D5h molecules include eclipsed rhenocene, Ru(C5H5)2, and cyclopentadienyl anion, C5H5-.

Indigo Instruments has held inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years (see "Skeletal (Orbit/Minit)) that are compatible with every molecular model set/kit we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

Note that the image show ferrocene in the eclipsed configuration; the point group set only includes enough parts to build one ferrocene model. Here is a technical paper on "All Metal Sandwiches"

This model set has the flexibility needed to teach symmetry point groups effectively, as well as modeling metal coordination complexes. Some atoms have holes perpendicular to their main bonds, allowing for modeling H-bonds or electrostatic interactions. Construction-wise, atoms pieces are smaller relative to the bond pieces, emphasizing the relative space taken up by orbitals compared to nuclei. However, this can also make it difficult to change molecular structure quickly. Indigo Instruments customer service was also very helpful in processing my order quickly and completing forms required by my institution for requisition.

Thanks for the feedback. It is an unusual set & the only one we know of that can build ferrocene.
