A dinuclear synthetic model of the [NiFeSe] hydrogenase active site and a structural, spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis of this complex is reported. [NiFe('S2Se2')(CO)3] (H2'S2Se2' = 1,2-bis(2-thiabutyl-3,3-dimethyl-4-selenol)benzene) has been synthesized by reacting the nickel selenolate complex [Ni('S2Se2')] with [Fe(CO)3bda] (bda = benzylideneacetone). X-ray crystal structure analysis confirms that [NiFe('S2Se2')(CO)3] mimics the key structural features of the enzyme active site, inc ...[more]
