Περίληψη:	Ferrocene has a unique structure, i.e., a central iron atom neatly sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl rings, which has revolutionized the chemists’ views about how metals bind to organic π-systems. This structural arrangement leads to some fascinating chemical and photophysical properties. The last three decades, there were reports about receptor molecules that could be considered to perform simple logic operations via coupling ionic bonding or more complex molecular-recognition processes with photonic (fluorescence) signals. In these systems, chemical binding (‘input’) results in a change in fluorescence intensity (‘output’) from the receptor. It has been proven that molecules respond to changes in their environment, such as the presence of various ions, neutral species, pHs, temperatures, and viscosities. Since their first realization by de Silva, molecular logic gates have been intensively experimentally studied, with purely theoretical studies being less common. Here, we present the research that has been conducted on Molecular Logic Gates (MLGs) containing ferrocene and their applications. We categorized such systems into three families of MLGs: long-chain molecules (oligomers or polymers) that incorporate ferrocene, medium-sized molecules that incorporate ferrocene, and systems where ferrocene or its derivatives are used as external additives. Furthermore, MLGs including metal cations without the ferrocene moiety are briefly presented, while computational methodologies for an accurate theoretical study of MLG, including metal cations, are suggested. Finally, future perspectives of MLGs containing ferrocene and their applications are also presented.
