Vibrational characterization of a diiron bridging hydride complex - a model for hydrogen catalysis.


ABSTRACT: A diiron complex containing a bridging hydride and a protonated terminal thiolate of the form [(μ,κ2-bdtH)(μ-PPh2)(μ-H)Fe2(CO)5]+ has been investigated through 57Fe nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS) and interpreted using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We report the Fe-μH-Fe wagging mode, and indications for Fe-μD stretching vibrations in the D-isotopologue, observed by 57Fe-NRVS. Our combined approach demonstrates an asymmetric sharing of the hydride between the two iron sites that yields two nondegenerate Fe-μH/D stretching vibrations. The studied complex provides an important model relevant to biological hydrogen catalysis intermediates. The complex mimics proposals for the binuclear metal sites in [FeFe] and [NiFe] hydrogenases. It is also an appealing prototype for the 'Janus intermediate' of nitrogenase, which has been proposed to contain two bridging Fe-H-Fe hydrides and two protonated sulfurs at the FeMo-cofactor. The significance of observing indirect effects of the bridging hydride, as well as obstacles in its direct observation, is discussed in the context of biological hydrogen intermediates.
