Used as a chiral organometallic catalyst in asymmetric synthesis, enabling enantioselective transformations in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing. Its iron-based structure with a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand provides high reactivity and stability under various reaction conditions. Particularly effective in stereoselective C–H activation and cross-coupling reactions, allowing efficient construction of complex organic molecules with defined stereochemistry. Also employed in academic research to develop new catalytic methodologies for sustainable and atom-economical processes.
