Formation of [(L)Ni(mu2-S)x{Fe(CO)3}x] adducts (x = 1 or 2): analogues of the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Jan 21:(3):317-9. doi: 10.1039/b509798c. Epub 2005 Nov 24.

Abstract

The binuclear [Ni(L)Fe(CO)3], , and trinuclear [Ni(L){Fe(CO)3}2], , complexes adopt unusual structural motifs whereby Fe(CO)3 units bind to [Ni(L)] via mu2-S bridging modes, C=N imine pi-bonds and potential Ni-Fe bonding interactions.
