{2Fe3S} clusters related to the di-iron sub-site of the H-centre of all-iron hydrogenases
Abstract
The first synthetic {2Fe3S} clusters structurally related to the sub-site of the H-centre of the all-iron hydrogenases are described: tripodal dithiolate thioether ligands allow the synthesis of di-iron pentacarbonyls with differential (2∶3) S ligation of the Fe atoms.
