Product Information

• Name: 1,1'-Ferrocenedicarboxylic acid
• Synonyms: 1,1'-Dicarboxyferrocene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ferrocene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon consisting of two fused cyclopentadiene rings. It is used in organic synthesis as a source of one equivalent of ferrocenium cation, which is useful as a catalyst for hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions. Ferrocene-based polymers are layered materials that have been studied as transducers or sensors. They can be used to detect small changes in the environment, such as pH or temperature. Ferrocene-based polymers can also be used to make an electrode that detects antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system. Immunosensors are devices that use antibodies to detect the presence of antigens in blood or other fluids. The setup for this type of immunosensor consists of an antibody immobilized on an electrode surface, with a layer of material containing the antigen placed on top and covered with a solution containing ferrocene molecules. When an antibody binds to the antigen at the interface between these
