Ferrocene--the prototypical metallocene--is a fascinating
molecule. Even though it was first discovered over fifty years ago,
research into ferrocene-containing compounds continues apace,
largely stimulated by their successful applications in catalysis,
materials science and bioorganometallic chemistry. Ferrocene
derivatives are now recognised as useful starting materials for the
preparation of new organometallic complexes and functional
materials, efficient catalyst components, as well as redox-active
modifiers to biomolecules.

Ferrocenes: Ligands, Materials and Biomolecules provides
the reader with a background overview and describes recent advances
in the development and application of ferrocene compounds,
including:

* synthesis and catalytic utilisation of chiral and non-chiral
ferrocene ligands

* ferrocene-based sensors

* electrooptical materials

* ferrocene polymers

* liquid-crystalline materials

* crystal engineering with ferrocene compounds

* the bioorganometallic chemistry of ferrocene

Ferrocenes: Ligands, Materials and Biomolecules is an
essential guide for anyone working in the fields of organometallic
synthesis and catalysis, materials science and bioorganometallic
chemistry.

Rezensionen

"Many may find it rewarding to sample a few chapters that are
relevant to their main interests or just to get an idea of what can
still be done with this 'classic' organometallic molecule."
(Journal of the American Chemical Society, February 4, 2009)

"It will be very useful as a reference source for everyone
involved in research in the rapidly developing field of ferrocene
chemistry." (Angewandte Chemie, September 22, 2008 )
