title: A dinuclear nickel complex modeling of the Ni(d)(II)-Ni(p)(I) state of the active site of acetyl CoA synthase.
abstract: The dinuclear Ni(II)-Ni(I) complex Ni(II)(dadt(Et))Ni(I)(SDmp)(PPh(3)) was synthesized as a Ni(II)(d)-Ni(I)(p) model of the A-cluster in acetyl CoA synthase. This complex was reacted with Co(dmgBF(2))(2)(Me)(Py) and KSDmp successively to afford Ni(dadt(Et))Ni(Me)(SDmp), which further reacts with CO to afford the acetylthioester CH(3)C(O)SDmp via reductive elimination.
