Description

• Application: Ferrocene (dicyclopentadienyliron) can be used:As a scaffold for chiral ligands in asymmetric catalysis.[1]In ferrocene-based electrolytes for dye sensitized solar cells applications.[2]In the synthesis of unsymmetrical ferrocene ligands used as catalysts in cross-coupling, hydrogenation, allylic substitution, hydroformylation and aldol reactions.[3]In the synthesis of two-dimensional hexagonally ordered mesoporous carbon (CMK-5) via chemical vapor deposition method, which is used as a catalyst support in oxidation of methanol.[4]In the synthesis of molecular hybrids of ferrocene and fullerene (Bucky ferrocenes).[5]In the preparation of ferrocenium salt which is used as a mild oxidant.[6]
