Promethocene is a metal-organic compound of promethium with the chemical formula Pm(C₅H₅)₃. It is radioactive and stable in dry air. Promethocene is different from cyclopentadiene complexes of general transition metals and is considered to be ionically bonded.^[1] Theoretical calculations show that its Pm natural population analysis (NPA) electronic configuration is 6s^0.115d^1.194f^2.21.^[2]
