1. The possible components of your mixture are unreactedferrocene and the substituted ferrocene product(s) of yourreaction, which should travel the farthest up the TLC plate(highest Rf) and why?
2. Which should have a higher Rf value: the mono-substitutedferrocene or the di-substituted ferrocene?
3. In the column chromatography portion of your experiment nextweek, you use different solvents or solvent mixtures to elute thecolumn for separation of your product mixture. Why is thisrequired? Why use solvent mixtures for column elution instead ofpure solvents?
