Application

  • Ferrocenemethanol (FcMeOH) is commonly used as a water soluble ferrocene based reference redox system in electrochemical studies.
  • It is used in the synthesis of ferrocenylmethoxy-isatins, potent antiproliferative agents.
  • FcMeOH can be employed in the preparation of ferrocene-carbohydrate conjugates for biosensing applications.
