Influence of an electron-deficient bridging o-carborane on the electronic properties of an [FeFe] hydrogenase active site model.

چکیده
The IR carbonyl stretching frequencies of [Fe2(SRS)(CO)6] complexes correlate well with their first reduction potential; an [FeFe] hydrogenase model with a very mild reduction potential has been realized by using a strongly electron deficient carborane-dithiolate bridge.

Spectroelectrochemical characterization of the active site of the [FeFe] hydrogenase HydA1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible oxidation of molecular hydrogen. The active site of the [FeFe] hydrogenases (H-cluster) contains a catalytically active binuclear subcluster ([2Fe](H)) connected to a "cubane" [4Fe4S](H) subcluster. Here we present an IR spectroelectrochemical study of the [FeFe] hydrogenase HydA1 isolated from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The enzyme shows IR ba...
متن کاملIntroducing a dark reaction to photochemistry: photocatalytic hydrogen from [FeFe] hydrogenase active site model complexes.
The light-driven splitting of water into its constituting elements gives access to a valuable fuel from an abundant substrate, using sunlight as the only energy source. Synthetic diiron complexes as functional models of the [FeFe] hydrogenase H2ase enzyme active site have moved into the centre of focus as potentially viable catalysts for the reductive side of this process, i.e. the reduction of...
متن کاملElectron transfer activation of a second water channel for proton transport in [FeFe]-hydrogenase.
Hydrogenase enzymes are important because they can reversibly catalyze the production of molecular hydrogen. Proton transport mechanisms have been previously studied in residue pathways that lead to the active site of the enzyme via residues Cys299 and Ser319. The importance of this pathway and these residues has been previously exhibited through site-specific mutations, which were shown to int...
متن کاملBiomimetic model for [FeFe]-hydrogenase: asymmetrically disubstituted diiron complex with a redox-active 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand.
[FeFe]-hydrogenases feature a unique active site in which the primary catalytic unit is directly coordinated via a bridging cysteine thiolate to a secondary, redox active [4Fe4S] unit. The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of a bidentate, redox non-innocent ligand on the electrocatalytic properties of the (μ-S(CH(2))(3)S)Fe(2)(CO)(4)L(2) family of [FeFe]-hydrogenase models as a prox...
متن کاملThe quest for a functional substrate access tunnel in FeFe hydrogenase.
We investigated di-hydrogen transport between the solvent and the active site of FeFe hydrogenases. Substrate channels supposedly exist and serve various functions in certain redox enzymes which use or produce O2, H2, NO, CO, or N2, but the preferred paths have not always been unambiguously identified, and whether a continuous, permanent channel is an absolute requirement for transporting diato...
