Abstract The change in the adsorption-induced electrical conductivity of ferrocene as a function of temperature has been studied under moderate pressure. At constant temperature, the logarithm of conductivity has been observed to be proportional to the applied pressure. A drastic change in the electrical conductivity behaviour of ferrocene, at the adsorbed state, as a function of temperature under mechanical pressure has been observed. The results are discussed in the light of different existing theories. Our results suggest that ferrocene in the vapour-adsorbed state undergoes phase transition which is modified by both temperature and pressure, and the effect of such phase transition is reflected in the unusual variation of conductivity with temperature under different pressures.
