After first report on diketopyrrolopyrrole in 1974 by Farnum et al., a wide variety of its derivatives have been reported for material and biological applications. In this review we discuss various design strategies used for the synthesis of metal functionalized diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives along with their photophysical and electrochemical studies with respect to material and biological applications. Some exciting applications of ferrocenyl functionalized diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives such as non‐linear optics, organic solar cells and photothermal therapy were recently reported, which are also discussed in this review.

金属官能化的二吡咯并吡咯：光电子应用中的一种有前途的材料

在Farnum等人于1974年首次报道二酮基吡咯并吡咯之后，已经报道了其各种衍生物在材料和生物学上的应用。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了用于合成金属官能化二酮吡咯并吡咯衍生物的各种设计策略，以及它们在材料和生物学应用方面的光物理和电化学研究。最近报道了二茂铁基官能化的二酮吡咯并吡咯衍生物的一些激动人心的应用，例如非线性光学，有机太阳能电池和光热疗法，本文也对此进行了讨论。
