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.

Adopting supramolecular chemistry for immobilization of proteins is an attractive strategy that entails reversibility and responsiveness to stimuli. The reversible and oriented immobilization and micropatterning of ferrocene-tagged yellow fluorescent proteins (Fc-YFPs) onto β-cyclodextrin (βCD) molecular printboards was characterized using surface
