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.
