What is "uranocene"

n. (context chemistry English) The actinocene cyclooctatetraenide with chemical formula U(C₈H₈)₂, one of the first organouranium compounds to be synthesized.

Uranocene, U(CH), is an organouranium compound composed of a uranium atom sandwiched between two cyclooctatetraenide rings. It was one of the first organouranium compounds to be synthesized. It is a green air-sensitive solid that dissolves in organic solvents. Uranocene, a member of the " actinocenes," a group of metallocenes incorporating elements from the actinide series. It is the most studied bis[[Cyclooctatetraene|[8]annulene]]-metal system, although it has no practical applications.
