Metallodendrimers [1–8] are well-established nanomaterials that have applications as electronic devices,[2] sensors,[3] and catalysts.[3, 4] However, only a few examples are known with transition-metal clusters at the dendrimer periphery.[5] A star decorated with four polyoxometallate groups active in oxidation catalysis was reported,[6] and other redox-active transitionmetal groups surrounding dendrimers at the periphery include metallocenes [7] and ruthenium polypyridine complexes.[2a] These molecular assemblies show promise as electronic devices and sensors which can be used by electrode modification.[8] Herein we report 1) functionalization of the long-known tetrairon cluster [{CpFe (μ3-CO)} 4](1),[9, 10] the prototype of redoxrich organometallic clusters; 2) derivatization of 9-, 16-, and 27-branched dendrimers therewith; 3) redox behavior and redox robustness of these new metallodendrimers and formation of modified electrodes on which the cluster dendrimers are more strongly adsorbed with increasing size; 4) their application as selective sensors for oxo anions including adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP2À); and 5) dendritic and structural effects on anion recognition, in particular the selectivity of recognition of ATP2À in the presence of other anions and, for the first time, better recognition of ATP2À than H2PO4 À. Cluster 1 and its rich redox chemistry have been known for a long time.[9] We have synthesized its acyl chloride derivative 3 by reaction of the acid [Fe4Cp3 (η5-C5H4CO2H)](2)[9d] with (COCl) 2, the disulfide 4 by reaction of 3 with {ÀS (CH2) 11NH3+ ClÀ} 2, and the N-succinimidyl ester 5 by reaction of 3 with N-hydroxysuccinimide (Scheme 1). Complex 3 reacts with 9-branched amino dendrimer 7 in the presence of NEt3 to give the expected 9-branched amido cluster dendrimer 8 [Eq.(1)]. However, this is not the case for commercial (DSM) third-generation 16-branched amino dendrimer 9,[11] probably for steric reasons. Compound 9 did not give the expected dendritic amide complex in the presence of NEt3, but unexpected formation of the diethylamido cluster 6 was observed, presumably resulting from electron transfer from NEt3 to 3 to generate the acyl radical
