Product Purpose
The application of ferrocene itself is not much, but a wide variety of derivatives can be synthesized by known methods, which greatly extends the application range of ferrocene.
Ferrocene seismic agent
Ferrocene and its derivatives are shock-resistant agents in gasoline and are much safer than tetraethyl lead, which was once used. Ferrocene containing gasoline additives are available at Halfords in the UK and are particularly suitable for vehicles previously designed for use as tetraethyl lead shock absorber. The iron decomposed by ferrocene is deposited on the surface of the spark plug, which enhances its thermal conductivity. Adding ferrocene also reduces soot from diesel cars.
Ermao iron medicine
Some salts of ferrocene have anticancer activity, such as ferrocene analogues of tamoxifen. The mechanism is that tamoxifen can bind to estrogen and its cytotoxicity can kill cancer cells.
Ferrocene materials
The easy sublimation of ferrocene can be used to deposit certain fullerenes or carbon nanotubes. The aldehyde and phosphonium salts undergo Wittig reaction in the presence of sodium hydroxide to form vinyl ferrocene. The compound is polymerized to give a polymer similar to polystyrene in which the phenyl group is replaced by a ferrocene group.
Ferrocene ligand
Chiral ferrocene phosphine ligands are used in some reactions catalyzed by transition elements. This kind of reaction is used in industry to synthesize drugs and agricultural chemicals. Diphenylphosphine ferrocene (dppf) is an important ligand in organic synthesis. The mechanism of many coupling reactions is based on the formation of its palladium complex.
