Iron hydrogenase active site mimic holding a proton and a hydride

Lennart Schwartz, Gerriet Eilers, Lars Eriksson, Adolf Gogoll, Reiner Lomoth and Sascha Ott


The first model of the iron hydrogenase active site has been prepared which concomitantly carries a proton and a hydride; the title species was characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and is reduced at more positive potential than any other mimic of this kind.
