The nickel-catalyzed reation of 1,1'-bis(dimethysilyl)ferrocene[1] with carbonyls such as benzaldehyde, 4-cyaonbezaldehyde, trimethylacetaldehyde, acethon, and benzophenone afforded 3-oxa-2,5-disilacyclo-1,1'-ferrocene. In contrast, the reation of [1] with isobutyraldehyde under the same reation condition yielded the diinsertion products formed via the insertion of two aldehyde ligands into the Si-H bond of 1,1'-bis(dimethy)ferrocene.

Transition metal complexes of novel mono- and di-ferrocene-substituted porphyrins have been synthesized and characterized by structural and electrochemical methods. The X-ray structures of Mn(FPTTP)Cl and Mn(DFTTP)Cl showed the distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry with syn configuration of chloride and ferrocenyl substituents. The electrochemistry of ferrocene-substituted porphyrins and their metal complexes has been determined to elucidate the ${\pi}-conjugation$ effect of the porphyrin ring. The ferrocenyl group of H2FPTTP underwent a reversible one-electron transfer process at 0.30 V, indicating the good electron donating effect of the phorphyrin ring to the ferrocene substituent. The redox potential of the ferrocenyl subunit and porphyrin ring was affected by the central metal ions of the metalloporphyrins, that is, Zn(II) and Ni(II) made the oxidation of ferrocene much easier and Mn(III) made it harder. The ferrocene subunits of H2DFTTP interacted electrochemically with each other with peak splitting of 0.21 V. The strength of the electrochemical interactions between the two ferrocenyl substituents can be controlled by central metal ions of metalloporphyrins.

The reaction of 1,1'-bis(dimethylhydrosilyl)ferrocene with alkynes in the presence of a catalytic amount of ($C_2H_4$)Pt$(PPh_3)_2$ leads to the acyclic mixture of monohydrosilylated and/or dihydrosilylated compounds. But the analogous reactions in the presence of Ni$(PEt_3)_4$ catalyst yield monohydrosilylated compounds or dihydrosilylated products. The monohydrosilylated products were generated from the reactions of alkenes with the silylated ferrocene using nickel catalyst.

Ferrocene and ferrocene derivatives have been widely used as a burning rate catalyst for composite solid propellants. However, its tendency to migrate through the propellant grain and to crystallize at the surface changes the composition of propellant which results in unpredictable burning rate. To overcome the weakness of ferrocene catalyst, we designed a polymer containing ferrocene, poly(glycidyl azide-co-glycidyl ferrocenyl ether) (GAFP). GAFPs were synthesized from poly(epichlorohydrin-co-glycidyl ferrocenyl ether) (PEGF) which has ferrocenyl ethers in its pendant groups. The structures of GAFPs were confirmed by FT-IR, $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectral analyses. Thermal properties of the GAFPs were evaluated using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). As the contents of ferrocene increased, the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the GAFPs shifted to a higher temperature, and the decomposition temperature ($T_d$) decreased because the ferrocene worked as a burning rate catalyst.

Half-metallic nanostructure is highly applicable in the field of Spintronics and electronic device technology. We examine the electronic properties of a ferrocene-based nanowire as a possible candidate for a half-metallic nanostructure using VASP and SIESTA. Ferrocene-based nanowire shows high stability in both binding energy simulation and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The density of states (DOS) and the projected DOS of the ferrocene-based nanowire indicate that one-dimensional clustering of ferrocene molecules can be explained because of p-d orbital hybridization between iron and carbon. Half-metallic property and energy dispersion at the Fermi level due to one-dimensional structure is also observed from the DOS results.

Synthesis and structural characterization of peripherally ferrocene-substituted zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc-Fc) were carried out for efficient far-red/near-IR performance in dye-sensitized nanostructured $TiO_2$ solar cells. Incorporating ferrocene into phthalocyanine strongly improved the dye solubility in polar organic solvents, and reduced surface aggregation due to the steric effect of bulky ferrocene substituents. The involvement of electron transfer reaction pathways between ferrocene and phthalocyanine in ZnPc-Fc was evidenced by completely quenched fluorescence from S1 state (< 0.08% vs ZnPc). Strong absorption bands at 542 and 682 nm were observed in the transient absorption spectroscopy of ZnPc-Fc in DMSO, which was excited at a 670 nm laser pulse with a 15 ps full width at half maximum. Also, the excited state absorption signals at 450 - 600 and 750 - 850 nm appeared from the formation of charge separated state of phthalocyanine's anion. The lifetime of the charge separate state in ZnPc-Fc was determined to be $170{\pm}8$ ps, which was almost 17 times shorter than that of the ZnPc.

The reaction of 1,1'-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene with various aldehydes in the presence of a catalytic amount of Ni(PEt3)4 lead to the acyclic products by monohydrosilylation. The same reaction in the presence of a catalytic amount of (C2H4)Pt(PPh3)2 leads to the different cyclic six membered ring compound by double silylation. Platinum catalyzed double silylation of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde was generated 5,6-ferrocenylene-1,1,4,4,-tetramethyl-2-oxa-2- cyanophenyl-1,4-disylacyclehexane which was crystallized to have crystal structure.

New poly(arylene-ethynylene)s with silicon-containing ferrocene moiety in the polymer main chain were synthesized via the C-C bond forming reactions of 1,1´-bis(ethynyldimethylsilyl)ferrocene and various aromatic dihalides in high yields. The aromatic dihalides include 1,4-dibromobenzene, 4,4´-dibromobiphenyl, 9,10-dibromoanthracene, 2,5-dibromopyridine, 2,5-dibromothiophene, and 2,6-diiodo-4-nitroaniline. The polymer structures and properties were characterized by such instrumental methods as NMR $(^1H-,\;^{13}C-,\;and\;^{29}Si-)$, IR, UV-visible spectroscopies and TGA/DSC. The spectral data indicated that the present polymers have the regular alternating structure of 1,1´-bis(ethynyldimethylsilyl)ferrocenylene and arylene units. The resulting polymers were completely soluble in such organic solvents as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, chlorobenzene, and THF. The thermal behaviors of the resulting polymers were examined.

Stabilized Cross-linking Enzyme Crystals(CLEC) can be used as not only biocatalysts but also as enzyme sensors. PMS(Phenylmethyl Sulfate)was shown more efficience than any other electron mediator transfers toward HLADH(Horse Liver Alcohol Dehydrogenase)that were examined. NQS(naphtoquinonesulphonate), phenothiazine and ferrocene aldehyde had respectively just 52%, 37%, 35% electron transfer efficiency as compared to PMS . HLADH-CLEC was very stable toward elctron transfer mediators such as PMS, NQS and ferrocene aldehyde in which HLADH-solution was unstable.

Self-assembled systems with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers combined with gold nanoparticles have been widely studied because of their potential applications in molecular electronics, catalyst carriers, chemical sensors, and biomedical devices. In our work, gold nanoparticle monolayers and multilayers with pure and ferrocene-tethered PAMAM dendrimers as cross-linking molecules were deposited on a mixed self-assembled monolayer of gold substrates. The various generations of PAMAM dendrimers can be covalently attached to mercaptoundecanoic acid mixed with a mercaptoundecanol self-assembled monolayer. Cyclic voltammograms show that redox peak currents on the alternate multilayers of gold nanoparticles and ferrocene-tethered PAMAM dendrimers increase as the number of layers increases. Fourier transform IR external reflection spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy support the results from electrochemical measurements.
