This work reports the synthesis of a wide range of ferrocenyl-amino acids and other derivatives in excellent yield. Diverse amino acid containing azides were synthesized and ligated to ferrocene employing click reaction to access ferrocenyl amino acids. Chiral alcohols, esters, diols, amines containing azido group were tagged to ferrocene via click reaction to generate ferrocene derived chiral derivatives. A novel strategy for direct incorporation of ferrocene into a peptide and a new route to 1, 1′disubstituted ferrocene amino acid derivative are reported.

Ferrocene-appended copper(II) complexes [Cu( Fc-tpy)(B)](ClO4)(2) (1-3) and [Cu(Ph-tpy)(dppz)](ClO4)(2) (4) as control, where Fc-tpy is 4'-ferroceny1-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine, Ph-tpy is 4'-pheny1-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine, and B is a phenanthroline base, viz., 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, 1), dipyridoquinoxaline (dpq, 2), and dipyridophenazine (dppz, 3), were prepared and structurally characterized, and their DNA binding, photoactivated DNA cleavage activity, and cytotoxic properties were studied [Fe = (eta(5)-C5H4)Fe-11(eta(5)-C5H5)]. Complexes 1 and 3 as hexafluorophosphate salts were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Molecular structures of [Cu(Fc-tpy)(phen)](PF6)(2) (1a) and [Cu(Fc-tpy)(dppz)](PF6)(2)center dot MeCN (3a center dot MeCN) show a distorted square-pyramidal geometry at copper(II), with the Fc-tpy ligand and the phenanthroline base showing respective tridentate and bidentate binding modes. The phenanthroline base exhibits axial-equatorial bonding, while the Fc-tpy ligand binds at the basal plane. The complexes showed quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric responses near 0.45 and -0.3 V vs SCE in aqueous DMF-0.1 M KCl assignable to the Fc(+)-Fc and Cu(II) Cu(1) redox couples, respectively. The complexes bind to DNA, giving K-b values of 1.4 x 10(4) to 5.6 x 10(5) M-1 in the order 4 similar to 3 > 2 > 1. Thermal denaturation and viscometric titration data suggest groove and/or partial intercalative mode of DNA binding of the complexes. The complexes showed chemical nuclease activity in the presence of 3-mercaptopropionic acid (0.5 mM) or H2O2 (0.25 mM). Complexes 2-4 showed plasmid DNA cleavage activity in visible light, forming (OH)-O-center dot radicals. The Fc-tpy complex 3 showed better DNA photocleavage activity than its Ph-tpy analogue. The ferrocene moiety in the dppz complex 3 makes it more photocytotoxic than the Ph-tpy analogue 4 in HeLa cells.

Polyphosphate esters containing ferrocene structures were synthesized from 1,1′-bis (p-hydroxyphenylamido) ferrocene and 1,1′-bis (p-hydroxyphenoxycarbonyl) ferrocene with aryl phosphorodichloridates by interfacial polycondensation using a phase transfer catalyst. The polymers were characterized by infrared, 1H-, 13C-, and 31-NMR spectroscopy. The molecular weights were determined by end group analysis using 31P-NMR spectral data. The thermal stability and fire retardancy were respectively determined by thermogravimetry and limiting oxygen index (LOI) measurements. The polyamide-phosphate esters showed better thermal stability and higher LOI values than the polyester-phosphate esters.

Five compounds, viz. 1,1'-ferrocenediyldiethylidene bis(thiocarbonohydrazide) (DAFT), 1,1-diacetylferrocene disemicarbazone (DAFS), 1,1-diacetylferrocenebenzoyl hydrazone (FDBAH), 1,1-diacetylferrocene-p-nitrobenzoyl hydrazone (FDNBAH), and p-toluenesulfonic acid 1,1'-ferrocenediyldiethylidene dihydrazide (TFDD) were found to be bonding agents as well as burning-rate modifiers for the ammonium perchlorate + hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene system. The tensile strength and percentage elongation significantly increased in the presence of these bonding agents (except FDBAH). The bonding agents generally did not adversely affect the slurry viscosity during processing. The bonding sites were located by infrared spectroscopy, supported by determination of the dissolution kinetics of the bonding agents and scanning electron microscopy. The bonding agents did not undergo any side-reactions with the curing agents.

Ferrocenyl conjugates 2-ferrocenylimidazophenanthroline (1) and 2-ferrocenylimidazophenanthrene (2) were prepared, characterized, and their photoinduced DNA cleavage and photocytotoxic activity were studied. 2-Phenylimidazophenanthroline (3) was used as a control species. Compound 2 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. The interaction of the compounds with double-stranded calf thymus DNA (CT DNA) was studied. The compounds show good binding affinity to CT DNA with K-b values of approximately 10(5) M-1. Thermal denaturation data suggest the groove binding nature of the compounds. The redox-active compounds show poor chemical nuclease activity in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and glutathione (GSH). Compound 1 exhibits significant DNA photocleavage activity in visible light of 476 and 532 nm. Compound 3 shows only moderate DNA cleavage activity. The positive effect of the ferrocenyl moiety is demonstrated by the DNA photocleavage data. Mechanistic investigations reveal the formation of superoxide as well as hydroxyl radicals as the active species. The photocytotoxicity of the compounds in HeLa cells was studied upon irradiation with visible light (400-700 nm). Compound 1 shows efficient photocytotoxic activity with an IC50 value of 13 mu M, while compounds 2 and 3 are less active with IC50 values of > 50 and 22 mu M, respectively.

Herein, we present six new lipopolymers based on low molecular weight, branched polyethylenimine (BPEI 800 Da) which are hydrophobically modified using ferrocene terminated alkyl tails of variable lengths. The effects of degree of grafting, spacer length and the redox state of ferrocene in the lipopolymers on the self assembly properties were investigated in detail by TEM, AFM, DLS and zeta potential measurements. The assemblies displayed an oxidation induced increase in the size of the aggregates. The co-liposomes comprising the lipopolymer and a helper lipid, 1,2-dioleoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DOPE), showed excellent gene (pDNA) delivery capability in a serum containing environment in two cancer cell lines (HeLa and U251 cells). Optimized formulations showed remarkably higher transfection activity than BPEI (25 kDa) and were also significantly better than a commercial transfection reagent, Lipofectamine 2000 as evidenced from both the luciferase activity and GFP expression analysis. Oxidation of ferrocene in the lipopolymers led to drastically reduced levels of gene transfection which was substantiated by reduced cellular internalization of fluorescently labelled pDNA as detected using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. Moreover, the transfection inactive oxidized lipopolyplexes could be turned transfection active by exposure to ascorbic acid (AA) in cell culture medium during transfection. Endocytosis inhibition experiments showed that gene expression mediated by reduced formulations involved both clathrin and caveolae mediated pathways while the oxidized formulations were routed via the caveolae. Cytotoxicity assays revealed no obvious toxicity for the lipopolyplexes in the range of optimized transfection levels in both the cell lines studied. Overall, we have exploited the redox activity of ferrocene in branched PEI-based efficient polymeric gene carriers whose differential transfection activities could be harnessed for spatial or temporal cellular transfections.

I. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of appropriately substituted ferrocenylcarbonium ions reveal the α-protons of the substituted ring to be more shielded than β-protons. The observation is discussed in terms of various models proposed for the ferrocenylcarbonium ion and is found to support a model in which the iron is bonded to all six carbona of the substituted ring.

II. Ferrocene catalyzes the photoisomerization of the piperylenes and the photodimerization of isoprene. Our results suggest a mechanism in which a complex of ferrocene and diene is excited to its second singlet state which dissociates to a triplet-state ferrocene molecule and a triplet-state diene molecule. The triplet-state diene, then, proceeds to isomerize or attack ground-state diene to form dimers.
