title: A dithiolate-bridged (CN)2(CO)Fe-Ni complex reproducing the IR bands of [NiFe] hydrogenase.
abstract: A dithiolate-bridged dinuclear Fe-Ni complex, which has the desired fac-(CN)(2)(CO) ligand set at iron, has been synthesized. Its CN/CO bands in the IR spectrum reproduce those of the Ni-A, Ni-B, and Ni-SU states, which indicate that these octahedral Fe(II) centers have similar electronic properties. This result verifies the assignment of a (CN)(2)(CO)Fe(II) moiety in the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase.
