Spectroscopic Detection of Key Intermediates and Turnover Process in Catalytic H2 Formation by a Biomimetic Diiron Catalyst

FeFe(Cl2-bdt)(CO)2 (1) (Cl2-bdt = dichlorobenzene-1,2-dthiolate), inspired by the active site of FeFe-hydrogenase, shows achemically reversible 2e- reduction at -1.20 V VS. Fc+/Fc. From thiscompoun ...
