Comparative cation sensing properties of a newly designed urea linked ferrocene-benzimidazole dyad: a DFT study

Comparative analyses of new donor-π-acceptor ferrocenyl-chalcones containing fluoro and methoxy-fluoro acceptor units as synthesized dyes for organic solar cell material

“…The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest uncopied molecular orbital (LUMO) are the crucial descriptors associated to the reactivity of molecules [56]. The HOMO seems to be one of the important aspects to have the ability as electrons donating in order to empty molecular orbitals with low energy of convenient molecules.…”

Ferrocenyl–triazole complexes and their use in heavy metal cation sensing

“…34–39 Therefore, ferrocenes are considered invaluable templates as redox-moieties and in combination with a triazole-heterocyclic derivative can be expected to offer a greater surface area available for the deposition of specific analytes as well as an enhancement in the electron-transfer processes, and consequently, such compounds should stimulate the modified electrodes to behave as multiple signaling molecular selective chemo-sensors for metal cations. 4,5,29,40–48…”

In addition, their structural and electrochemical properties are reported.…”

Synthesis, Characterization, Electrochemical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity of Schiff Bases and Benzimidazoles Including Ferrocene Group and Their CoCl2 Complexes

“…This is due to the unusual features of the ferrocene group which can modify the heterocyclic moiety with its particular chemical behavior [10][11][12] . Many ferrocenebased benzimidazole derivatives were used to obtain new heterocyclic compounds with wide applications in ionic recognition [13][14][15] , metal complexes [16] , fluorescent probes [17] and enantioselective and heterogeneous catalysts [18,19] . In addition, some biological activities of ferrocenyl benzimidazoles were reported, such as fungicidal properties [10] , growth inhibition of cancer cells [11,12] and antimalarial activity [20] .…”
