Some of the most important features ferrocene chemistry – structure, reactivity, redox properties, and applications are presented. Their value in context conveying many fundamental aspects molecular is considered.

The changes in the electronic absorption spectra (UV-Vis) of some metallocene-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin films containing chloroform molecules as impurities were studied after photoexcitation in the nitrogen atmosphere. Photoexcitations were made by monochromatic radiation (using a Xe-lamp source and a monochromator) at an interval of few nanometers in the spectral range 210-75...

Pyrazoles have been studied for over a century as an important class of heterocyclic compounds and continue to attract considerable interest due to the broad range of biological activities they possess. The incorporation of the essential structural features of pyrazoles with a ferrocene moiety could provide new derivatives with unexpected and/or enhanced biological activities since several ferr...

A number of new ferrocene-pi-extended-dithiafulvalenes were successfully synthesized as new electron donor compounds. The chemical structures and electrochemical behaviors of these compounds were investigated using several spectroscopic methods. The synthesis of these compounds was achieved using the modified Wittig-Horner cross-coupling reaction using n-BuLi/THF at temperature varies from -78 ...

Aberrant iron deposition in the brain is associated with neurodegenerative disorders including Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. To study the collective response to iron loading, we have used hippocampal organotypic slices as a platform to develop a novel ex vivo model of iron accumulation. We demonstrated differential uptake and toxicity of iron after 12 h exposu...

The installation of ferrocene molecules within the wide-channel metal-organic framework (MOF) compound, NU-1000, and subsequent configuration of the modified MOF as thin-film coatings on electrodes renders the MOF electroactive in the vicinity of the ferrocenium/ferrocene (Fc(+)/Fc) redox potential due to redox hopping between anchored Fc(+/0) species. The observation of effective site-to-site ...

Ferrocene solubilized with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in aqueous KCl solution exhibited a well-defined voltammetric peak at 1.33 V vs. Ag|AgCl at a platinum electrode. The wave was attributed to the oxidation of chloride to chlorine, demonstrated by smell of chlorine, by a view of formation of gas bubbles, by coloration through the reaction with diethyl-p-phenylene diamine, and by the increase in t...
