FPendant ferrocene units have been attached to both organic and inorganic polymer backbones as well and generally polymers with pendant ferrocene units show unusual electronic properties endowed by the the redox activity of the metal(such as [[polysiloxane]]s, [[polyphosphazene]]s, and poly[[phosphinoborane]]s, (&ndash;PH(R)&ndash;BH<sub>2</sub>&ndash;)<sub>''n''</sub>) producing materials with unusual physical and electronic properties relating to the ferrocene / ferrocinium redox couple.<ref>{{cite journal|first1= = Rudolf  |last1= = Pietschnig  |title= = Polymers with pendant ferrocenes|journal= = [[Chemical Society Reviews|Chem.

===As a ligand scaffold===
Chiral ferrocenyl [[phosphine]]s are employed as ligands for transition-metal catalyzed reactions. Some of them have found industrial applications in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. For example, the [[diphosphines|diphosphine]] [[1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene|1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]] (dppf) is a valuable ligand for [[palladium]]-[[coupling reaction]]s.
