title: Involvement of thiolate ligands in binding substrates to Fe-S clusters.
abstract: Kinetic studies on reactions between [Fe4S4(SR)4]2- (R = Et or But) and 4-YC6H4COCl (Y = MeO, H or Cl) to form [Fe4S4Cl4]2- and 4-YC6H4COSR indicate that the terminal thiolate ligand is involved in the initial binding of the acid chloride to the cluster.
