Ferrocenyl-functionalized dendrimers peripheral

Peripheral ferrocenyl-functionalized dendrimers are in fact one of the most common type of metallodendrimers synthesized today. Due to the chemical and thermal stabilities of this kind of metallocene, formation of the intended dendrimer-supported metallocene complex can be performed in a single reaction step the metallocene fragment is introduced onto the surface of a (commercially available) dendrimer as the final construction step [56,57].
