Heteropolymetallic [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Mimics: Synthesis and Electrochemical Properties.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and electrochemical properties of tetranuclear [Fe₂S₂]-hydrogenase mimic species containing Pt(II), Ni(II), and Ru(II) complexes have been studied. To this end, a new tetranuclear [Fe₂S₂] complex containing a 5,5'-diisocyanide-2,2'-bipyridine bridging ligand has been designed and coordinated to the metal complexes through the bipyridine moiety. Thus, the tetranuclear [Fe₂S₂] complex (6) coordinates to Pt(II), Ni(II) and Ru(II) yielding the corresponding metal complexes. The new metal center in the bipyridine linker modulates the electronic communication between the redox-active [Fe₂S₂] units. Thus, electrochemical studies and DFT calculations have shown that the presence of metal co
