ABSTRACT

In this study, the synthesis of aminoferrocene was improved and a series of novel ferrocene-containing thiourea compounds were designed and synthesized as potential plant growth regulators. All the new compounds were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, and X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, the cytokinin and auxin activities of 5c and 5a–i were investigated. Notably, compounds 5e, 5g, and 5j in a concentration of 50 μg/mL exhibited significant cytokinin activity, and compounds 5b and 5h in a concentration of 50 μg/mL exhibited higher auxin activity than indoleacetic acid .
