If ferrocene was contaminated with some acetylferrocene after the column, what could you do to purify it further? 4. Could you use a column to separate a mixture of 3 different compounds? Why or why not? 5. Reverse phase chromatography is a type of column where the stationary phase is very nonpolar. If you were to run a reverse phase column on ferrocene and acetylferrocene, in what order would they elute? How could you test the purity of your samples after the column?

1. Report your observations – the picture of your final TLC plate, the calculated Rf values
and the identity of each spot. 

Rf values ferrocene: 0.875

Rf values acetylferrocene: 0.625

2. Was your ferrocene and acetylferrocene pure after the column? How do you know?
