Miscellaneous applications of ferrocene‐based peptides/amides

Abstract

This article provides a critical review of the different applications of ferrocene-based peptides/amides in biological as well as in non-biological systems. Ferrocene-based peptides/amides find many applications in different fields such as materials science, medicine, organic synthesis, bio-organometallic and biological chemistry, asymmetric catalysis, nonlinear optics, in polymer science as redox active polymers and dendrimers, in molecular recognition as biosensors and in electrochemistry). Extensive research is being done on ferrocene-based peptides/amides but we will highlight the various applications of ferrocene-based peptides/amides for the period 2006-2010. The main factors that govern the potential biological and nonbiological applications are an electroactive core, a conjugated linker that can act as a chromophore and lower the oxidation potential of the ferrocene part, an amino acid or peptide derivative that can interact with other molecules via hydrogen bonding or any secondary bonding, and symmetric and asymmetric substitution on the ferrocene moiety.

“…Their diversified use has received attention by various scientific communities including medical [10], analytical chemistry and metallurgy fields [11]. To name a few, they have been used in antiviral [12,13], anti-HIV [14], antimicrobial, antitumor, anti-inflammatory [15], and insecticidal substances [16].…”

Nanostructured thin film of iron tin oxide by aerosol assisted chemical vapour deposition using a new ferrocene containing heterobimetallic complex as single-source precursor

“…In the IR spectra, the disappearance of the characteristic peak in the region 3500-3300 cm -1 for the hydroxy moiety of the carboxylic acid indicates deprotonation and constitution of organotin(IV) derivative. The carboxylic functional group, tin-carbon linkage, tin-oxygen linkage, and tin-oxygen-tin linkage vibrational frequencies present the valuable and direct information about geometry around the tin center [31][32][33]. The typical carboxylic group absorption bands for the compound exhibit υCOOas and υCOOs stretching frequencies in regions 1595 and 1357 cm -1 respectively.…”
