This paper presents the synthesis and the thermal behavior of some symmetrical derivatives containing two ferrocenyl units. The influence of the following factors upon the thermal stability was estimated: the degradation atmosphere, the nature of the linking groups, the number of the benzene units and the flexible segment position.

Keywords: Synthesis, Ferrocene derivatives, Thermal analysis, Structure-thermostability relationship
