Reaction of chromocene with acetylacetone

Abstract
Crystalline chromocene reacts with excess liquid acetylacetone to give chromium(III) acetylacetonate, cyclopentadiene and hydrogen. The reaction is exothermic and fast as low as at 25 °C. The reaction of solid chromocene with acetylacetone vapours is substantially slower, transient formation of chromium(II) acetylacetonate being observed.
