Abstract: We introduce single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) exclusively folded by covalently bonded ferrocene units. Specifially, we demonstrate the ability of 2-ferrocenyl-1,10-phenanthroline to fuse single-chain collapse with the concomitant introduction of a donor functionality allowing the installation of a Pd-catalytic site, affording the first heterobimetallic ferrocene-functionalized SCNP.
