Synthesis, X-ray structure and electrochemical characterisation of a binuclear thiolate bridged Ni–Fe–nitrosyl complex, related to the active site of NiFe hydrogenase

Frank Osterloh, Wolfgang Saak, Detlev Haase and Siegfried Pohl

[NiL] 1 (L = N,N-diethyl-3,7-diazanonane-1,9-dithiolate) reacts with [Fe(CO)2(NO)2] 2 to afford [Ni(L)Fe(NO)2] 3, in which a NiII ion and a nitrosylated Fe-II centre are bridged via two -S atoms from the chelating ligand.
