Ferrocene Chemistry and Applications
Ferrocene Chemistry and Applications is a research topic within Organic Chemistry. Science Explorer counts 13k research works in it since 1950. 14.4% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the bioorganometallic chemistry of ferrocene and its derivatives, particularly in the context of cancer research and medicinal chemistry. It explores the synthesis, biochemical properties, molecular modeling, and antiproliferative effects of ferrocene-based compounds, as well as their potential applications as anticancer drugs. The cluster also delves into the chirality organization of ferrocenes and their biological activity.

By volume, China and India publish the most (147 and 130 works in 2022–2025).
How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
