Abstract

Abstract : While the first NiFe-based μ-hydroxo model [3 ] + can be prepared by reaction of a dicarbonyl model [1 ] 2+ with Me3 NO·2H2 O, the functional modeling of H2 activation catalyzed by the Ni-SIa state gives the t -hydride model [2 ] + in high yield. Abstract : The structural and functional modeling of the active site of [NiFe]-hydrogenases has been proved to be challenging to a great extent. Herein, we report the synthesis, structures, and some properties of the NiFe-based dicarbonyl, terminal hydride, and μ-hydroxo models for the active site of [NiFe]-hydrogenases.
