Abstract:Mono- and di-phosphine diiron azadithiolate complexes [{(mu-SCH(2))(2)N(4-NO(2)C(6)H(4))}Fe(2)(CO)(5)(PMe(3))] (2), [{(mu-SCH(2))(2)N(4-NO(2)C(6)H(4))}{Fe(CO)(2)L}(2)] (3, L=PMe(3); 4, PMe(2)Ph) and the mu-hydride diiron complex [3(FeHFe)](+)[PF(6)](-) were prepared as biomimetic models of the active site of Fe-only hydrogenases. The complexes 2-4 and [3(FeHFe)](+)[PF(6)](-) were characterized by IR, (31)P, (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra and their molecular structures were determined by single crystal X-ray analyses. The PMe(3) ligand in complex 2 lies on the basal position. The PMe(3)-disubstituted complex 3 exists as two configuration isomers, transoid basal/basal and apical/basal, in the crystalline state, while two PMe(2)Ph ligands of 4 are in an apical/basal orientation. The variable temperature (31)P NMR spectra of 2 and 3 were made to have an insight into the existence of the possible conformation isomers of 2 and 3 in solution. The [3(FeHFe)](+) cation possesses the sole transoid ba/ba geometry as other reported mu-hydride diiron analogues. The electrocatalytic property of {(mu-SCH(2))(2)NC(6)H(5)}[Fe(CO)(2)PMe(3)](2) (5) was studied for proton reduction in the presence of HOAc.
