A family of ferrocene-rich Mn7, Mn8 and Mn13 clusters
Graphical abstract
The reactions of ferrocene-1,1′-dicarboxylic acid with Mn reagents have led to the preparation of Mn7, Mn8 and Mn13 clusters. The crystal structures and magnetic properties of these complexes are reported, which establishes that they possess S = 2, 5 and 9/2, respectively.

Ubiquity of cubanes in bioinorganic relevant compounds
2022, Coordination Chemistry ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Among the most explored examples is the Mn12 cluster containing a Mn4O4 heterocubane core with an equatorial ring of 8 carboxylate-bridged manganese atoms.[134] This motif was made famous by the group of Christou for having remarkably large magnetic moments: as high as S = 19/2 and S = 10 (Fig. 13), and has been the subject of extensive study.[144–163] Additional examples of Mn-O cubane clusters are shown in Fig. 14.

2017, Inorganic Chemistry CommunicationsSilver(I) ferrocenylcarboxylate: Reactivity and reaction behavior toward phosphines and phosphites
2013, Journal of Organometallic ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Ferrocenecarboxylic acid is known since quite some time and its reactivity and reaction chemistry, respectively, has been viewed in terms of cluster synthesis [1,2], surface modification and bioinorganic applications including biosensors [3], and, for example, catalysis [4], since the ferrocene backbone is a brilliant building block for the construction of new molecules and materials with tailor-made properties, due to its robustness, well-established synthesis methodologies, and excellent redox properties. On the other hand, silver(I) carboxylates of type [AgO2CR] and [AgO2CR(Ln)], respectively, (R = single-bonded organic ligand) gained recently interest because they can be used as precursors in, for example, metallization processes using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) [5,6], spin-coating [7], inkjet printing [8] or combustion-CVD [9] techniques to obtain silver films as well as patterns on different substrate materials. In addition, they are of importance as building blocks in the preparation of hetero(multi)nuclear transition metal complexes [10].
