In [[diesel]]-fuelled engines, ferrocene reduces the production of soot.

===Pharmaceutical===
Some ferrocenium salts exhibit anticancer activity, and an experimental drug has been reported which is a ferrocenyl version of [[tamoxifen]].<ref name = top2003 /> The idea is that the tamoxifen will bind to the [[estrogen]] binding sites, resulting in a cytotoxicity effect.<ref

===Materials chemistry===
Ferrocene, being readily sublimed, can be used to deposit certain kinds of fullerenes, especially carbon nanotubes. Due to the fact that many organic reactions can be used to modify ferrocenes, it is the case that [[vinyl]] ferrocene can be made. The vinyl ferrocene can be made by a [[Wittig reaction]] of the [[aldehyde]], a [[phosphonium salt]] and [[sodium hydroxide]].<ref>Liu, Wan-yi; Xu, Qi-hai; Ma, Yong-xiang; Liang, Yong-min; Dong, Ning-li; Guan, De-peng,''J(contracted; show full)[[pl:Ferrocen]]
