title: Synthesis, structures and electrochemistry studies of 2Fe2S-Fe(ii)(S-2N)(2) models for H-cluster of [FeFe]-hydrogenase.
abstract: A series of model complexes [(μ-pdt)Fe(2)(CO)(5)](2)M(sip)(2) (M = Fe, Ni) were synthesized as H-cluster analogues of [FeFe]-hydrogenase. Their electrochemical behaviours were investigated and it is proposed that the bridging metal bis(tris-chelate) groups act as electron transfer sites in theses mimics.
