Explain how you would elute any diacteyl ferrocene formed


During the purification of acetyl ferrocene by column chromatography, hexanes are used to elute the unreacted ferrocene first. Upon subsequent elution with (1:1) hexane/CH2Cl2, the acetyl ferrocene starts to move down the column. Explain how you would elute any diacteyl ferrocene formed during the synthesis of acetyl ferrocene, and if it would elute before ferrocene, with ferrocene, between ferrocene and acetyl ferrocene, with acetyl ferrocene, and/or after acetyl ferrocene.
