Three biomimetic 2Fe2S complexes [{(micro-SCH2)2NCH2(2-C4H3O)}](Fe2(CO)6), [{(micro-SCH2)2 NCH2(2-C4H3S)}](Fe2(CO)6) and [{(micro-SCH2)2NCH2(5-Br-2-C4H2S)}Fe2(CO)6] were prepared as models for the active site of Fe-only hydrogenase by the convergent process from [(micro-S2)Fe2(CO)6] and N,N-bis(hydromethyl)-2-furan and thiophene. The structures of these complexes were identified spectroscopically and crystallographically. The electrochemical behavior of the complexes and was unique as they showed catalytic proton reduction with a low reduction potential at -1.13 and -1.09 V vs Fc/Fc+, respectively, in the presence of HClO4.
