Biomimetic diiron complexes bearing redox non-innocent ligands are discussed in this review. The complexes are synthesized to model the active site of [FeFe] hydrogenase in order to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of H₂ evolution and design superior artificial catalysts. Employment of the redox active ligands serves an important factor to modulate electronic structure of the Fe₂ core as the similar functionality exerted by the [4Fe4S] cofactor within the H-cluster. Different types of redox active ligands are summarized. The influence of their ligation is observable in spectroscopy as well as cyclic voltammetry, and studied by theoretical calculation.

非纯氧化还原配体在[FeFe]加氢酶建模中的产氢利用

在这篇综述中讨论了带有氧化还原非纯配体的仿生二铁配合物。合成配合物以模拟[FeFe]氢化酶的活性位点，以阐明H ₂逸出的催化机理并设计优良的人工催化剂。氧化还原活性配体的使用是调节Fe ₂核的电子结构的重要因素，因为H团簇中[4Fe4S]辅因子具有相似的功能。总结了不同类型的氧化还原活性配体。它们的连接的影响在光谱学和循环伏安法中均可见，并通过理论计算进行研究。
