Cyclopentadienone
Cyclopentadienone is an organic compound with molecular formula C5H4O. The parent cyclopentadienone is rarely encountered, because it rapidly dimerizes.[1] Many substituted derivatives are known, notably tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. Such compounds are used as ligands in organometallic chemistry.[2]

The Knölker complex, derived from a substituted cyclopentadienone, is a catalyst for transfer hydrogenation.[3]

Preparation
Cyclopentadienone can be generated by the photolysis or pyrolysis of various substances (e.g. 1,2-benzoquinone[4]), and then isolated in an argon matrix at 10 K. It dimerizes readily upon thawing the matrix (38 K).[5][6]
