Self-assembled monolayers of ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FcCOOH) contain two fundamental units, both stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonding: dimers and cyclic five-membered catemers. At surface coverages below a full monolayer, however, there is a significantly more varied structure that includes double-row clusters containing two to twelve FcCOOH molecules. Statistical analysis shows a distribution of cluster sizes that is sharply peaked compared to a binomial distribution. This rules out simple nucleation-and-growth mechanisms of cluster formation, and strongly suggests that clusters are formed in solution and collapse into rows when deposited on the Au(111) surface.

A novel label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the ultrasensitive determination of cancer antigen (CA724) was developed using a novel composite of CoAl layered double hydroxides (CoAl-LDH) and carboxyl-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) as platform and ferrocenecarboxylic acid (Fc-COOH) as signal label. The MWCNTs-COOH/Fc-COOH@CoAl-LDH composite was prepared by a convenient and simple one-step ultrasonic method, and various characterization techniques consisting of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transimission electronic microscopy (TEM), TEM-Mapping, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectronic energy spectrum (XPS) were applied to study the size and morphological features. Due to its large specific surface area and multilayer structure, the CoAl-LDH can be post-doped to embed a large amount of signal probe to realize the amplification of the internal reference signal Fc.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has been extensively studied as a new type of non-invasive treatment for mammary cancer. However, the poor water solubility and defective biocompatibility of sonosensitizers during SDT hinder the sonodynamic efficacy. Herein, a nanoplatform has been developed to achieve high efficient SDT against mammary cancer through the host-guest interaction of β-cyclodextrin/5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenylporphyrin (β-CD-TPP) and ferrocenecarboxylic acid/chitooligosaccharides (FC-COS).

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are frequently utilized as sensing materials. Unfortunately, the low conductivity of MOFs hinder their further application in electrochemical determination. To overcome this limitation, a novel modification strategy for MOFs was proposed, establishing an electrochemical determination method for cyanides in Baijiu.
