Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of reports concerning conjugated ferrocene systems in the following three categories: (1) oligo- .and poly-ferrocenylenes, (2) ferrocene oligomers and polymers with conjugated spacers, and (3) ferrocene–acceptor conjugated compounds. The chapter reviews studies of mixed-valence complexes; as a result, the redox properties and functionalities of the conjugated ferrocene systems are a primary focus. In particular, analysis of the intramolecular electronic interaction based on the neighboring-site interaction model, isomerization behavior of azoferrocene, and proton-coupled intramolecular electron transfer in ferrocene–quinone complexes are described in each category. The studies on the fundamental properties, and especially redox behavior, of conjugated ferrocene systems have been surveyed. Various kinds of ferrocene dinuclear mixed-valence complexes have been synthesized and their physical properties investigated. To understand the intramolecular electron-transfer mechanism and dynamics in such complexes is important in elucidating fundamental concepts regarding the development of redox-based molecular devices. The next stage of research on the conjugated ferrocene systems should be to identify the intramolecular electronic events between multiple redox nuclei, to control internuclear electron transfer using external stimuli, and to combine the redox abilities of ferrocene.
