Abstract:
A dinuclear 2Fe2S mimic 6 of the active site of the Fe-only hydrogenases has been synthesized. Complex 6 contains a free amino group which enables linkage to a protein backbone or to a redox active species for the study of electron transfer processes in proteins or in supramolecular systems. The structures of the complex 6 and its Boc-protected precursor 5 could be verified by X-ray crystallography.
