Zirconocene is a hypothetical compound with 14 valence electrons, which has not been observed or isolated. It is an organometallic compound consisting of two cyclopentadienyl rings bound on a central zirconium atom. A crucial question in research is what kind of ligands can be used to stabilize the Cp2ZrII metallocene fragment to make it available for further reactions in organic synthesis.
Angelica M. Stacy is the associate vice provost for the faculty, and professor of chemistry, at University of California, Berkeley. Stacy was one of the first women to receive tenure in the college of chemistry at UC Berkeley.
