Scandocene is an organoscandium compound with the chemical formula Sc(C₅H₅)₃. It is a straw-colored crystal and can be obtained by reacting anhydrous scandium(III) chloride and sodium cyclopentadienide in tetrahydrofuran.^[1] If scandium(III) fluoride and magnesocene are reacted as raw materials, a mixture of scandium(III) fluoride and scandocene will be obtained.^[2] It decomposes when exposed to water to produce cyclopentadiene and scandium(III) hydroxide.^[1]
