Abstract
Supramolecular assemblies with well-defined structural attenuation toward varied functional implications are an emerging area in mimicking natural biomaterials. In that regard, the redox stimuli-responsive ferrocene moiety can reversibly change between a nonpolar ferrocenyl and polar ferrocenium cation that endows interesting modular features to the building blocks with respect to self-assembly/disassembly. We design a series of ferrocene anchored peptide fragment NVFFAKKC using hydrophobic alkyl spacers of different chain lengths. Increasing the spacer length between the redox-responsive and self-assembling motifs increases the propensity to form robust nanofibers, which can be physically cross-linked to form hydrogels. The controlled redox response of the ferrocene moiety tandem with pH control provides access to structural control over the peptide nanostructures and tunable mechanical strengths. Further, such redox-sequestered dormant states hinder the spontaneous nucleation process that we exploit toward seeded supramolecular polymerization to form block cofibers composed of redox-responsive periphery and nonresponsive cores. Finally, such redox sequestration of peptide self-assembly renders an on-off piezoelectric response for potential utilization in peptide bioelectronics.

Abstract
Organometallic complexes are an important class of synthetic reagents and are of
great interest due to their versatility and wide biological application. The cationic nature of the
coordination nucleus facilitates its interaction with biological molecules such as amino acids,
proteins, and nucleic acids. The functionalization of peptides or amino acids with organometallic
motifs is a novel strategy for the design and development of molecules with greater biological
activity, stability in biological environments, and selectivity for specific targets, which
make them valuable tools for designing and obtaining molecules with therapeutic applications.
The physicochemical properties of ferrocene make it ideal for drug development, due to its
structure, stability in aqueous solutions, redox properties, and low toxicity. In the same way,
organotin (IV) derivatives have great potential for drug development because of their multiple
biological activities, wide structural versatility, high degree of stability, and low toxicity.
However, the synthesis of these drugs based on organometallic molecules containing ferrocene or organotin (IV) is
quite complex and represents a challenge nowadays; for this reason, it is necessary to design and implement procedures
to obtain molecules with a high degree of purity, in sufficient quantities, and at low cost. This review describes
the strategies of synthesis used up to now for the preparation of organometallic amino acids and peptides
containing ferrocene or organotin (IV) derivates, as well as their impact on the development of therapeutic agents.
