A review. This article focuses on the syntheses and potential applications of ferrocene-appended porphyrin architectures. Several strategies were developed to date to assoc. ferrocenyl fragments and porphyrin rings in the same mol. architecture, depending on the targeted application: (i) connection at a meso position through a direct linkage, a conjugated or satd. spacer or using a noncovalent approach and (ii) connection at a $\beta$-pyrrolic position. Examples of ferrocene-porphyrin analogs are also presented. [on SciFinder(R)]
