Manganocene or bis(cyclopentadienyl)manganese(II) is an organomanganese compound with the formula [Mn(C5H5)2]n. It is a thermochromic solid that degrades rapidly in air. Although the compound is of little utility, it is often discussed as an example of a metallocene with ionic character.
==Synthesis and structure== It may be prepared in the manner common for other metallocenes, i.e., by reaction of manganese(II) chloride with sodium cyclopentadienide: MnCl2 + 2 CpNa → Cp2Mn + 2 NaCl
