title: Structure and electronic properties of an asymmetric thiolate-bridged binuclear complex: a model for the active site of acetyl CoA synthase.
abstract: The asymmetric binuclear complex [(dppe)Ni(mu-'S, S')Ni(L)](PF6)2 [L = (N, N'-diethyl-3,7-diazanonane-1,9-dithiolato)2-] shows a reversible one-electron reduction to afford a mixed-valent Ni(II) x Ni(I) species; the reduced complex has been characterised by EPR spectroscopy and mimics the redox active Nip site in the active A-cluster of acetyl coenzyme A synthase.
