Ferrocene is an exceptional building block for the development of dyes with reversible redox properties. Dyes absorbing int the near infrared and infrared region are actively researched due to their potential applications ranging from telecommunication to defence systems. In this review, an overview of the different NIR and infrared dyes reported to date is presented. Parallel to the photophysical characteristics, the synthetic pathways giving access to these structures is presented.
