Abstract: The ferrocene-based trimethylsilyl chalcogenide reagents [FcC(O)OCH(2)CH(2)ESiMe(3)] (2, E=S, 3 E=Se, Fc=[Fe(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(η(5)-C(5)H(4))]) and [FcC(O)NHCH(2)CH(2) SSiMe(3)] (8b) have been synthesized. The reagents were reacted with solubilized transition-metal acetates to yield functionalized complexes and clusters, including the spherical nanocluster [Ag(14)S{SCH(2)CH(2)O(O)CFc)}(12)(PPh(3))(6)] (11, PPh(3) =triphenylphosphine). The complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The electrochemical behavior of the complexes was explored by cyclic voltammetry and each displayed a single quasi-reversible redox wave with some adsorption to the electrode surface.<br /> (Copyright © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
