| 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. |
