Abstract

A one-pot, four-component, copper-catalysed double-“click” functionalisation of a novel 1,1′-desymmetrised ferrocene backbone is reported. Using an array of alkynes and azides, a library of ferrocene compounds was developed, demonstrating the scope of this methodology for its potential application in the assembly of novel materials, ligands or biological sensors.
