In this thesis, two synthetic pathways of attachment of ferrocenyl units to organotin chalcogenide clusters have been introduced with the aim at a deeper understanding and control of the synthesis, reactivity, and structural properties of organo- and organometal-functionalized chalcogenide complexes, and to study the possible physicochemical properties of the resulting hybrid compounds that derive from the combination of chalcogenide complexes or clusters with metallocene decoration or linkage.
