Application

Ferrocene (dicyclopentadienyliron) can be used:
  • As a scaffold for chiral ligands in asymmetric catalysis.
  • In ferrocene-based electrolytes for dye sensitized solar cells applications.
  • In the synthesis of unsymmetrical ferrocene ligands used as catalysts in cross-coupling, hydrogenation, allylic substitution, hydroformylation and aldol reactions.
  • 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.
  • In the synthesis of molecular hybrids of ferrocene and fullerene (Bucky ferrocenes).
  • In the preparation of ferrocenium salt which is used as a mild oxidant.

A series of aryl-functionalized and ferrocenyl monothiosemicarbazone compounds (L1-L4) were synthesized in moderate yields via a general Schiff-base condensation reaction. The thiosemicarbazone (TSC) ligands were reacted with the ruthenium dimer [Ru(Ar)(μ-Cl)Cl](2) (Ar = benzene; p-cymene) to yield a series of

1H-1,2,3-Triazole tethered imidazole-isatin and imidazole-isatin-thiosemicarbazone conjugates were synthesized and evaluated against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Antiproliferative activities of the synthesized conjugates revealed an optimum combination of longer alkyl chain length as spacer and a halogen-substituent on the isatin ring
