Abstract

Owing to their interesting optical, thermal and redox properties, ferrocene derivatives have emerged as strong candidates for materials and catalysts. The design and synthesis of ferrocene derivatives possessing functionalized tethers continue to attract considerable attention due to their potential applications in molecular recognition, in the construction of dendrimers, in multi-electron redox catalysis, in molecular electronics, as agents used chemically to modify electrode ...
