Abstract

Catalysis by the cubane-type Fe₄S₄ cluster has been found in metalloproteins such as biotin synthase, aconitase, and IspH, whereas some synthetic M₄S₄ clusters show catalytic activities for biologically related reactions or various types of organic transformations. This minireview summarizes recent progress in the chemistry of catalytic functions of cubane-type M₄S₄ clusters.
