title: Multielectron-transfer templates via consecutive two-electron transformations: iron-sulfur complexes relevant to biological enzymes.
abstract: [FeFe] hydrogenase mimics: two polynuclear iron-sulfur complexes (1 and 2) were prepared and structurally characterized. They are potentially effective and stable multielectron-transfer relays for mediating four- and six-electron transformations via a cascade of reversible two-electron redox steps with relatively narrow potential spans.
