Herein, we report a novel organometallic series of potent purine-functionalized ferrocene derivatives (PFD) as redox catalysts. The synthesized PFDs were characterized through FTIR, H/CNMR, and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LCMS). Their thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed the thermal stability up to 250 °C, degradation was noted in range 300–500 °C. catalytic performance tested found for oxidative methyl blue (MB) 99% reductive conversion trinitrophenol (TNP) into triaminophenol (TAP) 92%, which is supported by their band gap (2.7 eV). highest unoccupied molecular orbital (HUMO) lowest (LUMO) calculations confirmed stable geometry PFDs, negative values HOMO LUMO have oxidation reduction they Vb > Va Vc Vd Ve due functions variable substitution. Lagergren pseudo-first-order kinetic model, support performance, that mobility dye/phenol molecules with PFD what regulates rate.
