Cyclopentadienone is an organic compound with molecular formula C5H4O. The parent cyclopentadienone is rarely encountered, because it rapidly dimerizes.[1] Many substituted derivatives are known, notably tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Such compounds are used as ligands in organometallic chemistry.[2]

Preparation
[edit]Cyclopentadienone can be generated by the photolysis or pyrolysis of various substances (e.g. 1,2-benzoquinone[4]), and then isolated in an argon matrix at 10 K (−263 °C). It dimerizes readily upon thawing the matrix at 38 K (−235 °C).[5][6]
