Nitrogen-fixing organisms perform dinitrogen reduction to ammonia at an Fe-M (M = Mo, Fe, or V) cofactor (FeMco) of nitrogenase. FeMco displays eight metal centers bridged by sulfides and a carbide having the MFe7S8C cluster composition. The role of the carbide ligand, a unique motif in protein active sites, remains poorly understood. Toward addressing how the carbon bridge affects the physical and chemical properties of the cluster, we isolated synthetic models of subsite MFe3S3C displaying sulfides and a chelating carbyne ligand. We developed synthetic protocols for structurally related clusters, [Tp*M’Fe3S3X]n−, where M’ = Mo or W, the bridging ligand X = CR, N, NR, S, and Tp* = Tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)hydroborate, to study the effects of the identity of the heterometal and the bridging X group on structure and electrochemistry. While the nature of M’ results in minor changes, the chelating, μ3-bridging carbyne has a large impact on reduction potentials, being up to 1 V more reducing compared to nonchelating N and S analogs.

A new family of acetato oxygen and dithiocarbonato sulfur bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes with weak imidazolidine bridge support is described for the first time; these complexes are studied for possible synthetic models of dicopper active sites.

<p>Nitrogen-fixing organisms perform dinitrogen reduction to ammonia at an iron-M (M = Mo, Fe, or V) cofactor (FeMco) of nitrogenase. FeMoco displays eight metal centers bridged by sulfides and a carbide having the MoFe<sub>7</sub>S<sub>8</sub>C cluster composition. The role of the carbide ligand, a unique motif in protein active sites, remains poorly understood. Toward addressing its function, we isolated synthetic models of subsite MFe<sub>3</sub>S<sub>3</sub>C displaying sulfides and a carbyne ligand. We developed synthetic protocols for structurally related clusters, [Tp*MFe<sub>3</sub>S<sub>3</sub>X]<sup>n-</sup>, where M = Mo or W, the bridging ligand X = CR, N, NR, S, and Tp* = tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)hydroborate, to study the effects of the identity of the heterometal and the bridging X group on structure and electrochemistry. While the nature of M results in minor changes, the μ<sub>3</sub>-bridging ligand X has a large impact on reduction potentials, with differences higher than 1 V, even for the same formal charge, the most reducing clusters being supported by the carbyne ligand. </p>

Bimetallic active sites are ubiquitous in metalloenzymes and has sparked investigations of synthetic models to aid in the establishment of structure-function relationship. We previously reported a series of discrete bimetallic...
