General description

Ferrocene carboxylic acid (FCCa) is an organometallic compound comprised of a ferrocene core with a carboxylic acid functional group. It is used as a mediator in electrocatalytic oxidation. Due to its excellent redox properties, it is widely used in electrochemistry, redox probes, and peptide chain modifications. In addition, a direct cross-coupling reaction was explored using ferrocenecarboxylic acid and alkenes.

Application

Ferrocene carboxylic acid can be used as a:
  • Starting material in the synthesize of ferrocene-guanine conjugates.
  • Redox mediator in electrochemical-chemical-chemical (ECC) redox cycling.

A multiple amplification immunoassay was proposed to detect alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), which was based on ferrocenemonocarboxylic-HRP conjugated on Pt nanoparticles as labels for rolling circle amplification (RCA). Firstly, the capture antibody (anti-AFP) was immobilized on glass carbon electrode (GCE) deposited nano-sized

We developed glucose biosensing electrodes using single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films on flexible, transparent poly(ethylene terephthalate). The homogeneous SWCNT films were fabricated by a vacuum filtration method, and the averaged resistivity and transparency of the fabricated flexible SWCNT films were

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by derivatization and gas chromatography-atomic emission detection (GC-AED) was evaluated for the determination of five chlorophenols (CPs) in water samples. The derivatization was based on the esterification of phenolic compounds with ferrocenecarboxylic acid. The determination of

A new series of dendrimers with poly(propylene imine) backbones and 4, 8, 16, or 32 peripheral ferrocenyl-urea groups were prepared and characterized; their voltammetric behavior in DMSO solution was very sensitive to the presence of hydrogenphosphate anions at submillimolar concentration

Ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) functionalized with ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc) was used to modify the glassy carbon (GC) electrode. The characterization of OMC-Fc shows that, after anchoring ferrocene on the mesoporous, ordered mesostructure of the material (OMC-Fc) remains intact and Fc
