Organometallic compounds, molecules made up of metal atoms and organic molecules, are often used to accelerate chemical reactions and have played a significant role in advancing the field of chemistry.
Metallocenes, a type of organometallic compound, are known for their versatility and special"sandwich" structure. Their discovery was a significant contribution to the field of organometallic chemistry and led to the awarding of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1973 to the scientists who discovered and explained their sandwich structure.
Dr. Satoshi Takebayashi, a researcher at the Science and Technology Group at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology , together with Dr. Hyung-Been Kang, a scientist at OIST's Engineering Section, and scientists from Germany, Russia, and Japan, has successfully developed a new metallocene compound at OIST.

A first for ferrocene: Organometallic capsule with unusual charge-transfer interactionsAn organometallic capsule that can reversibly assemble and disassemble in response to chemical stimuli was recently developed by chemists. Comprising ferrocene-based bent amphiphiles, this new capsule can act as a host for various types of guest molecules, such as electron acceptors and dyes. Thanks to the controllable release of its cargo, the capsule would find applications in catalysis, medicine, and biotechnology.
