Metal-rich globular clusters are important to study the chemical evolution of the Galaxy and one of the best approaches to better understand the physical processes occurring in stellar populations as building blocks of galaxies. We report on Mn, Cu, and Zn abundances of giant stars in metal-rich Galactic globular clusters (−0.70 < [Fe/H] < −0.11), measured on spectra obtained with the UVES spectrograph on the 8-m VLT UT2-Kueyen telescope.
