title: A Pentacoordinated Di-N-carboxamido-dithiolato-O-sulfinato-iron(III) Complex Related to the Metal Site of Nitrile Hydratase.
abstract: Postcoordination oxidation by dioxygen of one of the thiolate groups in a pentadentate N(2)S(3) ligand results in an iron(III) complex with two N-carboxamido, two thiolato, and one O-sulfinato ligands (see the CAMERON representation). This novel mixed coordination is similar to that determined for the inactive form of the nitrile hydratase from Rhodococcus sp. N-771, but differs by the O versus S binding of the sulfinato ligand.
