Description

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.
