Few studies have been reported on the synthesis of ferrocenesulfonates up to now. Here, we describe the use of orthodeprotometalation and "halogen dance" reactions to easily reach original derivatives. Further functionalizations using cross-coupling and metal/halogen exchange were also per-formed from iodinated derivatives. Finally, while the electrochemical properties of selected ferrocenesulfonates were evaluated and compared with the corresponding sulfonamide derivatives, halogen bonds were observed at the solid state for iodinated derivatives of ferrocenesulfonates.
