We analyze the X-ray properties of the most distant clusters of galaxies (0.3=0.8 is ZFe=0.25+0.04-0.06Zsolar, and at ~1.2 is ZFe=0.35+0.06-0.05Zsolar (5 clusters at z>1), both measures consistent with the local value ZFe~=0.3Zsolar, within 1σconfidence level, thus suggesting no evolution of the mean iron abundance out to z~=1.3. The X-ray scaling properties show hints of negative evolution in the Lbol-T and Mgas-T relations, and a positive evolution in the Entropy-T relation. Together, these results can provide interesting constraints on the thermodynamics of the ICM at large lookback times, pointing towards a redshift z>~2 for the onset of non-gravitational processes.
