Insights into Triazolylidene Ligands Behaviour at a Di-Iron Site Related to [FeFe]-Hydrogenases.

ABSTRACT: The behaviour of triazolylidene ligands coordinated at a {Fe₂(CO)₅(µ-dithiolate)} core related to the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenases have been considered to determine whether such carbenes may act as redox electron-reservoirs, with innocent or non-innocent properties. A novel complex featuring a mesoionic carbene (MIC) [Fe₂(CO)₅(Pmpt)(µ-pdt)] (1; Pmpt = 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene; pdt = propanedithiolate) was synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H, ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopies, elemental analyses, X-ray diffraction ,and cyclic voltammetry. Comparison with the spectroscopic characteristics of its analogue [Fe₂(CO)₅(Pmbt)(µ-pdt)] (2; Pmbt = 1-phenyl-3-me
