Ferrocene: from chemical curiosity to therapeutic innovation

With iron at its core, innovation follows. The discovery of ferrocene in the early 1950s revolutionised chemistry. This accidental discovery has grown into a compelling story of innovation, with ferrocene still guiding the search for more effective treatments for some of the world’s most challenging diseases.
