Answers:
ferrocene = highest Rf value; elutes fastest from the column
acetyl ferrocene = mid-value; elutes second fastest from the column
diacetyl ferrocene = lowest Rf value; elutes slowest from the column.
Explanation:
The Rf value depends on the polarity of the compounds. More polar the compound, less Rf value it will have and more non-polar the compound, high Rf value it will have.
Ferrocene is a nonpolar compound while acetyl ferrocene is a polar compound due to the presence of the carbonyl functional group which is polar in nature. Diacetyl ferrocene has two acetyl groups and thus it is more polar than acetyl ferrocene.
Hence polarity of ferrocene, acetyl ferrocene, and diacetyl ferrocene is in the order
Ferrocene < acetyl ferrocene < diacetyl ferrocene
The order of Rf value will be
Ferrocene > acetyl ferrocene > diacetyl ferrocene
Compounds having the highest Rf value elute from the column first followed by those compounds which have less Rf value.
Order of elution:
Ferrocene > acetyl ferrocene > diacetyl ferrocene

These questions are from an experiment where we had a mixture of Ferrocene, acetylferrocene and diacetyl ferrocene and we separated each by using column chromatography. Before doing the column chromatography we did TLC analysis to ensure that we did, in fact, have a mixture of these 3 compounds. During the column chromatography we first eluted the ferrocene using pure hexane. Then we eluted the acetylferrocene using a 1:1 mixture of hexane and methylene chloride. Then we eluted the diacetylferrocene using...
Friedel-Crafts Acylation of Ferrocene "riedel-Crafts reactions are examples of electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. The eaction involves the substitution of hydrogen on the aromatic ring system by an electrophilic arbon species forming a new carbon-carbon bond. Friedel-Crafts reactions may be used to ntroduce either an alkyl or acyl group. Ferrocene does not undergo addition reactions typical of cyclopentadiene, but undergoes Electrophilic aromatic substitution. The Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction of ferrocene involves he addition of the acylium cation to one of the carbon...

Lab 4: Question 3 Homework • Unanswered Important ... The solvent is changed from petroleum ether to diethyl ether after the ferrocene is collected from the column. Why not use diethyl ether the entire time? Because diethyl ether is more polar than petroleum ether Because petroleum ether selectively elutes ferrocene since it contains more ether oxygens than diethyl ether Because diethyl ether would lead to a poorer separation of ferrocene and acetylferrocene Both a...
