Efficient chromatography-free synthesis of a new example an aromatic dendrimer bearing nine ferrocene residues and its application in the detection 9,10-diphenylanthracene are reported.

Herein, we present the design and synthesis of new redox-active monomeric and dimeric (gemini) cationic lipids based on ferrocenylated cholesterol derivatives for gene delivery. The cationic cholesterols are shown to be transfection efficient after being formulated with the neutral helper lipid DOPE in the presence of serum (FBS). The redox activity of the resulting co-liposomes and their lipop...

Developing a modeling method for determining the solubilities of metal complexes in supercritical CO2 is crucial designing an effective CO2-based deposition technique. This study aimed to model solubility ferrocene, typical precursor metallic iron, CO2, which was achieved using perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory (PC-SAFT) conjunction with experimental data organic solvents. Pu...

The title crystal, [Fe(C5H5)2].C12F10, comprises infinite chains of alternating component molecules, linked through face-to-face contacts of nearly parallel cyclopentadienyl and pentafluorophenyl rings. The decafluorobiphenyl molecule has a crystallographic twofold axis and the Fe atom of the ferrocene molecule is on a crystallographic inversion centre, with both cyclopentadienyl rings disordered.

In the title mol-ecule, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(7)H(6)BrO)], the C atoms of the substituted ring have disparate Fe-C bond lengths compared with the unsubstituted ring. In the bromo-acetyl residue, the Br and O atoms are co-planar [the O-C-C-Br torsion angle is 5.7 (4)°] and are syn to each other. Helical supra-molecular chains along the b axis are formed in the crystal structure mediated by C-H⋯O conta...

Carbon nanoparticles were synthesized from natural gas soot and functionalized with ferrocenyl moieties by using 4-ferrocenylphenyldiazonium as the reactive precursor. The incorporation of the ferrocenyl units onto the carbon nanoparticle surface was confirmed by varied spectroscopic measurements. For instance, in FTIR measurements the characteristic vibrational bands of the ferrocenyl and phen...

In the title compound, [Fe(C(13)H(11)O(2))(2)], there are markedly different orientations of the two phenyl-meth-oxy-carbonyl substituents [O-C-C-C torsion angles = 84.5 (3) and 139.6 (2)°]. These orientations are mediated by a number of inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions, which result in a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of mol-ecules.

The lithiation of ferrocenylphosphane Fc-PH(2) (Fc = -C(5)H(4)FeC(5)H(5)) has been reinvestigated and both Fc-PHLi and Fc-PLi(2) have been identified by NMR-spectroscopy. The lithiated phosphanides have been converted to the corresponding mono and bis(silylated) species the latter of which gave synthetic access to an oligomer in which three ferrocene units are symmetrically connected by phospha...

A novel and highly stable inclusion complex was formed between per-butylated pillar[6]arene and a ferrocenium cation, while the reduced form ferrocene only showed extremely weak binding affinity with per-butylated pillar[6]arene in organic solvents.

A Vaska-type complex carrying a ferrocene-appended diphosphine ligand was developed as a prototype of autonomous molecular machines that is able to undergo continuous scissoring motion in the presence of diphenylphosphoryl azide and aldehyde.
