Abstract
Fast microfluidic mixers are a valuable tool for studying solution-phase chemical reaction kinetics and molecular processes with spectroscopy. However, microfluidic mixers that are compatible with infrared vibrational spectroscopy have seen only limited development due to the poor infrared transparency of the current microfabrication material. We describe the design, fabrication, and characterization of CaF2-based continuous flow turbulent mixers, which are capable of measuring kinetics in the millisecond time window with infrared spectroscopy, when integrated into an infrared microscope. Kinetics measurements demonstrate the ability to resolve relaxation processes with 1 millisecond time resolution, and straightforward improvements are described that should result in sub-100 µs time-resolution.

Understanding 2D-IR Spectra of Hydrogenases: A Descriptive and Predictive Computational Study. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
[NiFe] hydrogenases are metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible cleavage of dihydrogen (), a clean future fuel. Understanding the mechanism of these biocatalysts requires spectroscopic techniques that yield insights into the structure and dynamics of the [NiFe] active site. Due to the presence of CO and ligands at this cofactor, infrared (IR) spectroscopy represents an ideal technique for studying these aspects, but molecular information from linear IR absorption experiments is limited. More detailed insights can be obtained from ultrafast nonlinear IR techniques like IRpump−IRprobe and two-dimensional (2D-)IR spectroscopy. However, fully exploiting these advanced techniques requires an in-depth understanding of experimental observables and the encoded molecular information. To address this challenge, we present a descriptive and predictive computational approach for the simulation and analysis of static 2D-IR spectra of [NiFe] hydrogenases and similar organometallic systems. Accurate reproduction of experimental spectra from a first-coordination-sphere model suggests a decisive role of the [NiFe] core in shaping the enzymatic potential energy surface. We also reveal spectrally encoded molecular information that is not accessible by experiments, thereby helping to understand the catalytic role of the diatomic ligands, structural differences between [NiFe] intermediates, and possible energy transfer mechanisms. Our studies demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of computational spectroscopy in the 2D-IR investigation of hydrogenases, thereby further strengthening the potential of this nonlinear IR technique as a powerful research tool for the investigation of complex bioinorganic molecules.

Abstract
Hydrogenases are valuable model enzymes for sustainable energy conversion approaches using H2, but rational utilization of these base-metal biocatalysts requires a detailed understanding of the structure and dynamics of their complex active sites. The intrinsic CO and CN- ligands of these metalloenzymes represent ideal chromophores for infrared (IR) spectroscopy, but structural and dynamic insight from conventional IR absorption experiments is limited. Here, we apply ultrafast and two-dimensional (2D) IR spectroscopic techniques, for the first time, to study hydrogenases in detail. Using an O2-tolerant [NiFe] hydrogenase as a model system, we demonstrate that IR pump-probe spectroscopy can explore catalytically relevant ligand bonding by accessing high-lying vibrational states. This ultrafast technique also shows that the protein matrix is influential in vibrational relaxation, which may be relevant for energy dissipation from the active site during fast reaction steps. Further insights into the relevance of the active site environment are provided by 2D-IR spectroscopy, which reveals equilibrium dynamics and structural constraints imposed on the H2-accepting intermediate of [NiFe] hydrogenases. Both techniques offer new strategies for uniquely identifying redox-structural states in complex catalytic mixtures via vibrational quantum beats and 2D-IR off-diagonal peaks. Together, these findings considerably expand the scope of IR spectroscopy in hydrogenase research, and new perspectives for the characterization of these enzymes and other (bio-)organometallic targets are presented.

Abstract
Hydrogenases catalyze the simple yet important interconversion between H2 and protons and electrons. Found throughout prokaryotes, lower eukaryotes, and archaea, hydrogenases are used for a variety of redox and signaling purposes and are found in many different forms. This diverse group of metalloenzymes is divided into [NiFe], [FeFe], and [Fe] variants, based on the transition metal contents of their active sites. A wide array of biochemical and spectroscopic methods has been used to elucidate hydrogenases, and this along with a general description of the main enzyme types and catalytic mechanisms is discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
The apparently simple dihydrogen formation from protons and electrons (2H+ + 2e- ⇄ H2) is one of the most challenging reactions in nature. It is catalyzed by metalloenzymes of amazing complexity, called hydrogenases. A better understanding of the chemistry of these enzymes, especially that of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases subgroup, has important implications for production of H2 as alternative sustainable fuel. In this work, reactivation mechanism of the oxidized and inactive Ni-B and Ni-A states of the [NiFe]-hydrogenases active site has been investigated using density functional theory. Results obtained from this study show that one-electron reduction and protonation of the active site promote the removal of the bridging hydroxide ligand contained in Ni-B and Ni-A. However, this process is sufficient to activate only the Ni-B state. H2 binding to the active site is required to convert Ni-A to the active Ni-SIa state. Here, we also propose a reasonable structure for the spectroscopically well-characterized Ni-SIr and Ni-SU species, formed respectively from the one-electron reduction of Ni-B and Ni-A. Ni-SIr, depending on the pH at which the reaction occurs, features a bridging hydroxide ligand or a water molecule terminally coordinated to the Ni atom, whereas in Ni-SU a water molecule is terminally coordinated to the Fe atom, and the Cys64 residue is oxidized to sulfenate. The sulfenate oxygen atom in the Ni-A state affects the stereoelectronic properties of the binuclear cluster by modifying the coordination geometry of Ni, and consequently, by switching the regiochemistry of H2O and H2 binding from the Ni to the Fe atom. This effect is predicted to be at the origin of the different reactivation kinetics of the oxidized and inactive Ni-B and Ni-A states.

Abstract
[NiFe] hydrogenase (H2ase) catalyzes the oxidation of dihydrogen to two protons and two electrons and/or its reverse reaction. For this simple reaction, the enzyme has developed a sophisticated but intricate mechanism with heterolytic cleavage of dihydrogen (or a combination of a hydride and a proton), where its Ni-Fe active site exhibits various redox states. Recently, thermodynamic parameters of the acid-base equilibrium for activation-inactivation, a new intermediate in the catalytic reaction, and new crystal structures of [NiFe] H2ases have been reported, providing significant insights into the activation-inactivation and catalytic reaction mechanisms of [NiFe] H2ases. This Perspective provides an overview of the reaction mechanisms of [NiFe] H2ases based on these new findings.

Abstract
Hydrogen gas is used extensively in industry today and is often put forward as a suitable energy carrier due its high energy density. Currently, the main source of molecular hydrogen is fossil fuels via steam reforming. Consequently, novel production methods are required to improve the sustainability of hydrogen gas for industrial processes, as well as paving the way for its implementation as a future solar fuel. Nature has already developed an elaborate hydrogen economy, where the production and consumption of hydrogen gas is catalysed by hydrogenase enzymes. In this review we summarize efforts on engineering and optimizing these enzymes for biological hydrogen gas production, with an emphasis on their inorganic cofactors. Moreover, we will describe how our understanding of these enzymes has been applied for the preparation of bio-inspired/-mimetic systems for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production.

Abstract
Obtaining abundant pure hydrogen by reduction of water has an important implication in the development of clean and renewable energy. Hence research focused on the development of non-noble metal based facile and energy efficient catalysts for proton reduction is on the rise. However, for practical utilization, it is necessary that these complexes function unabated in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and other common contaminants in abundant water sources. There has been very little activity towards the development of oxygen-tolerant hydrogen producing catalysts. This article aims to draw attention to this issue of oxygen sensitivity in the HER and highlights the development of a few air-stable HER catalysts (enzymatic as well as artificial) elaborating the challenges involved and the techniques discovered to overcome this significant deterrent to large-scale hydrogen production by electrolysis from abundant water sources.

Abstract
Previously, the Ni-SIr state of [NiFe] hydrogenase was found to convert to the Ni-SIa state by light irradiation. Herein, large activation energies and a large kinetic isotope effect were obtained for the reconversion of the Ni-SIa state to the Ni-SIr state after the Ni-SIr-to-Ni-SIa photoactivation, suggesting that the Ni-SIa state reacts with H2O and leaves a bridging hydroxo ligand for the Ni-SIr state.

Abstract
Rapid and facile redox chemistry is exemplified in nature by the oxidoreductases, the class of enzymes that catalyze electron transfer (ET) from a donor to an acceptor. The key role of oxidoreductases in metabolism and biosynthesis has imposed evolutionary pressure to enhance enzyme efficiency, pushing some toward the diffusion limit. Understanding the detailed molecular mechanisms of these highly optimized enzymes would provide an important foundation for the rational design of catalysts for multielectron chemistry, including fuel production. The hydrogenases (H2ases) are the oxidoreductases that catalyze the most basic electron and proton transfer reactions relevant to fuel production, the interconversion of protons and hydrogen, with kcat > 103 s-1. Thus, they provide a model system for studying the efficiency exhibited by oxidoreductases. Because of the extraordinarily fast catalytic rates of these enzymes, their mechanisms have been difficult to study directly but instead have been inferred from structural and steady-state measurements. Although informative, the kinetic competency of observed equilibrium steps can only be suggested by these methods, not demonstrated, because the fundamental (fast) catalytic steps remain unresolved, resulting in minimal insight regarding the underlying ET and proton transfer (PT) events. Motivated by this gap in understanding, we developed an approach capable of observing elementary ET and PT during such fast enzyme turnover by combining a laser-induced potential jump with time-resolved spectroscopy. The potential jump initiates enzyme turnover by utilizing a short-pulsed laser to release a "caged" electron from a nanomaterial or NAD(P)H, which is then captured by a mediator such as methyl viologen. The subsequent enzyme reduction and turnover are monitored by transient absorption spectroscopy in the visible or mid-IR spectral regions. The method is completely general and in principle can be applied to any catalytic redox reaction. In the case of hydrogenases, time-resolved infrared spectroscopy of the active site CO ligands is particularly informative since the IR frequencies are exquisitely sensitive to the redox and protonation states. Using this methodology, we have developed a description of the catalytic mechanism of the Pyrococcus furiosus [NiFe]-hydrogenase by demonstrating the kinetic and chemical competency of equilibrium states and by invoking new intermediates. Additionally, the pre-steady-state kinetics revealed a distinct role of proton tunneling in concerted electron-proton transfer (EPT) modulated by a conserved glutamic acid residue. Similar multisite EPT processes have been implicated in numerous enzymes but have not been demonstrated explicitly. These methods have also been successfully applied to an electron bifurcating [FeFe]-H2ase from Thermotoga maritima, establishing the kinetic competency of the Hox, Hred, and Hsred intermediates of the [FeFe] enzyme. These results provide fundamental insight on the factors that control low barrier proton and electron flow in enzymes and thus provide a foundation for the rational design of reversible biomimetic catalysts.

Abstract
![]()
Catalysis
of H2 production and oxidation reactions is
critical in renewable energy systems based around H2 as
a clean fuel, but the present reliance on platinum-based catalysts
is not sustainable. In nature, H2 is oxidized at minimal
overpotential and high turnover frequencies at [NiFe] catalytic sites
in hydrogenase enzymes. Although an outline mechanism has been established
for the [NiFe] hydrogenases involving heterolytic cleavage of H2 followed by a first and then second transfer of a proton
and electron away from the active site, details remain vague concerning
how the proton transfers are facilitated by the protein environment
close to the active site. Furthermore, although [NiFe] hydrogenases
from different organisms or cellular environments share a common active
site, they exhibit a broad range of catalytic characteristics indicating
the importance of subtle changes in the surrounding protein in controlling
their behavior. Here we review recent time-resolved infrared (IR)
spectroscopic studies and IR spectroelectrochemical studies carried
out in situ during electrocatalytic turnover. Additionally, we re-evaluate
the significant body of IR spectroscopic data on hydrogenase active
site states determined through more conventional solution studies,
in order to highlight mechanistic steps that seem to apply generally
across the [NiFe] hydrogenases, as well as steps which so far seem
limited to specific groups of these enzymes. This analysis is intended
to help focus attention on the key open questions where further work
is needed to assess important aspects of proton and electron transfer
in the mechanism of [NiFe] hydrogenases.

Abstract
Hydrogen production through water splitting is one of the most promising solutions for the storage of renewable energy. [NiFe] hydrogenases are organometallic enzymes containing nickel and iron centres that catalyse hydrogen evolution with performances that rival those of platinum. These enzymes provide inspiration for the design of new molecular catalysts that do not require precious metals. However, all heterodinuclear NiFe models reported so far do not reproduce the Ni-centred reactivity found at the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenases. Here, we report a structural and functional NiFe mimic that displays reactivity at the Ni site. This is shown by the detection of two catalytic intermediates that reproduce structural and electronic features of the Ni-L and Ni-R states of the enzyme during catalytic turnover. Under electrocatalytic conditions, this mimic displays high rates for H2 evolution (second-order rate constant of 2.5 × 104 M-1 s-1; turnover frequency of 250 s-1 at 10 mM H+ concentration) from mildly acidic solutions.

Abstract
The two resting forms of the active site of [NiFe] hydrogenase, Ni-A and Ni-B, have significantly different activation kinetics, but reveal nearly identical spectroscopic features which suggest the two states exhibit subtle structural differences. Previous studies have indicated that the states differ by the identity of the bridging ligand between Ni and Fe; proposals include OH(-), OOH(-), H2O, O(2-), accompanied by modified cysteine residues. In this study, we use single crystal ENDOR spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) to calculate vibrational frequencies, (1)H and (17)O hyperfine coupling constants and g values with the aim to compare these data to experimental results obtained by crystallography, FTIR and EPR/ENDOR spectroscopy. We find that the Ni-A and Ni-B states are constitutional isomers that differ in their fine structural details. Calculated vibrational frequencies for the cyano and carbonyl ligands and (1)H and (17)O hyperfine coupling constants indicate that the bridging ligand in both Ni-A and Ni-B is indeed an OH(-) ligand. The difference in the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants of the β-CH2 protons of Cys-549 is sensitive to the orientation of Cys-549; a difference of 0.5 MHz is observed experimentally for Ni-A and 1.9 MHz for Ni-B, which results from a rotation of 7 degrees about the Cα-Cβ-Sγ-Ni dihedral angle. Likewise, the difference of the intermediate g value is correlated with a rotation of Cys-546 of about 10 degrees.

Abstract
Different light-induced Ni-L states of [NiFe] hydrogenase from its Ni-C state have previously been observed by EPR spectroscopy. Herein, we succeeded in detecting simultaneously two Ni-L states of [NiFe] hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F by FT-IR spectroscopy. A new light-induced νCO band at 1890 cm(-1) and νCN bands at 2034 and 2047 cm(-1) were detected in the FT-IR spectra of the H2-activated enzyme under N2 atmosphere at basic conditions, in addition to the 1910 cm(-1) νCO band and 2047 and 2061 cm(-1) νCN bands of the Ni-L2 state. The new bands were attributed to the Ni-L3 state by comparison of the FT-IR and EPR spectra. The νCO and νCN frequencies of the Ni-L3 state are the lowest frequencies observed among the corresponding frequencies of standard-type [NiFe] hydrogenases in various redox states. These results indicate that a residue, presumably Ni-coordinating Cys546, is protonated and deprotonated in the Ni-L2 and Ni-L3 states, respectively. Relatively small ΔH (6.4 ± 0.8 kJ mol(-1)) and ΔS (25.5 ± 10.3 J mol(-1) K(-1)) values were obtained for the conversion from the Ni-L2 to Ni-L3 state, which was in agreement with the previous proposals that deprotonation of Cys546 is important for the catalytic reaction of the enzyme.

Abstract
The movement of protons and electrons is common to the synthesis of all chemical fuels such as H2. Hydrogenases, which catalyze the reversible reduction of protons, necessitate transport and reactivity between protons and electrons, but a detailed mechanism has thus far been elusive. Here, we use a phototriggered chemical potential jump method to rapidly initiate the proton reduction activity of a [NiFe] hydrogenase. Coupling the photochemical initiation approach to nanosecond transient infrared and visible absorbance spectroscopy afforded direct observation of interfacial electron transfer and active site chemistry. Tuning of intramolecular proton transport by pH and isotopic substitution revealed distinct concerted and stepwise proton-coupled electron transfer mechanisms in catalysis. The observed heterogeneity in the two sequential proton-associated reduction processes suggests a highly engineered protein environment modulating catalysis and implicates three new reaction intermediates; Nia-I, Nia-D, and Nia-SR(-). The results establish an elementary mechanistic understanding of catalysis in a [NiFe] hydrogenase with implications in enzymatic proton-coupled electron transfer and biomimetic catalyst design.

Abstract
[NiFe] hydrogenase catalyzes the reversible cleavage of H2. The electrons produced by the H2 cleavage pass through three Fe-S clusters in [NiFe] hydrogenase to its redox partner. It has been reported that the Ni-SI(a), Ni-C, and Ni-R states of [NiFe] hydrogenase are involved in the catalytic cycle, although the mechanism and regulation of the transition between the Ni-C and Ni-SI(a) states remain unrevealed. In this study, the FT-IR spectra under light irradiation at 138-198 K show that the Ni-L state of [NiFe] hydrogenase is an intermediate between the transition of the Ni-C and Ni-SI(a) states. The transition of the Ni-C state to the Ni-SI(a) state occurred when the proximal [Fe4S4]p(2+/+) cluster was oxidized, but not when it was reduced. These results show that the catalytic cycle of [NiFe] hydrogenase is controlled by the redox state of its [Fe4S4]p(2+/+) cluster, which may function as a gate for the electron flow from the NiFe active site to the redox partner.

Abstract
We propose a modified mechanism for the inhibition of [NiFe]hydrogenase ([NiFe]H(2)ase) by CO. We present a model study, using a NiRu H(2)ase mimic, that demonstrates that (i) CO completely inhibits the catalytic cycle of the model compound, (ii) CO prefers to coordinate to the Ru(II) center rather than taking an axial position on the Ni(II) center, and (iii) CO is unable to displace a hydrido ligand from the NiRu center. We combine these studies with a reevaluation of previous studies to propose that, under normal circumstances, CO inhibits [NiFe]H(2)ase by complexing to the Fe(II) center.

Abstract
Mammalian NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Complex I) in the mitochondrial inner membrane catalyzes the oxidation of NADH in the matrix. Excess NADH reduces nine of the ten prosthetic groups of the enzyme in bovine-heart submitochondrial particles with a rate of at least 3,300 s⁻¹. This results in an overall NADH→O₂ rate of ca. 150 s⁻¹. It has long been known that the bovine enzyme also has a specific reaction site for NADPH. At neutral pH excess NADPH reduces only three to four of the prosthetic groups in Complex I with a rate of 40 s⁻¹ at 22 °C. The reducing equivalents remain essentially locked in the enzyme because the overall NADPH→O₂ rate (1.4 s⁻¹) is negligible. The physiological significance of the reaction with NADPH is still unclear. A number of recent developments has revived our thinking about this enigma. We hypothesize that Complex I and the Δp-driven nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (Nnt) co-operate in an energy-dependent attenuation of the hydrogen-peroxide generation by Complex I. This co-operation is thought to be mediated by the NADPH/NADP⁺ ratio in the vicinity of the NADPH site of Complex I. It is proposed that the specific H₂O₂ production by Complex I, and the attenuation of it, is of importance for apoptosis, autophagy and the survival mechanism of a number of cancers. Verification of this hypothesis may contribute to a better understanding of the regulation of these processes.

Abstract
The [NiFe] hydrogenase (Hase I) involved in the aerobic respiration of the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus shows increased oxygen tolerance and thermostability and can form very stable films on pyrolytic graphite electrodes. Oxygen-tolerant enzymes, like the ones from A. aeolicus and Ralstonia eutropha, are reported to be insensitive to CO inhibition. This is in contrast to known and well-characterized (oxygen-sensitive) hydrogenases, for which carbon monoxide is a competitive inhibitor. In this study, the interaction of Hase I from A. aeolicus with CO is examined using in situ infrared electrochemistry and time-resolved FTIR spectroscopy. We could observe the formation of a CO adduct state, a finding that set the grounds to investigate the affinity of an O(2)-tolerant enzyme for binding CO as well as the reversibility of this process. In the case of A. aeolicus, this extrinsic CO is shown to be weakly attached and the adduct state is light-sensitive at low temperatures. The energetic parameters for the rebinding of CO at the active site were estimated from the rate constants of this process after photolysis and the results compared to those obtained for standard hydrogenases. Formation of a weak Ni-CO bond in the active site of Hase I most likely results from the different interaction of this enzyme with inhibitors and/or different active site electronic properties to which non standard amino acid residues in the vicinity of the active site might contribute.

Abstract
The membrane-bound hydrogenase (Hase I) of the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus belongs to an intriguing class of redox enzymes that show enhanced thermostability and oxygen tolerance. Protein film electrochemistry is employed here to portray the interaction of Hase I with molecular oxygen and obtain an overall picture of the catalytic activity. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy integrated with in situ electrochemistry is used to identify structural details of the [NiFe] site and the intermediate states involved in its redox chemistry. We found that the active site coordination is similar to that of standard hydrogenases, with a conserved Fe(CN)(2)CO moiety. However, only four catalytic intermediates could be detected; these correspond structurally to the Ni-B, Ni-SI(a), Ni-C, and Ni-R states of standard hydrogenases. The Ni-SI/Ni-C and Ni-C/Ni-R midpoint potentials are approximately 100 mV more positive than those observed in mesophilic hydrogenases, which may be the reason that A. aeolicus Hase I is more suitable as a catalyst for H(2) oxidation than production. Protein film electrochemistry shows that oxygen inhibits the enzyme by reacting at the active site to form a single species (Ni-B); the same inactive state is obtained under oxidizing, anaerobic conditions. The mechanism of anaerobic inactivation and reactivation in A. aeolicus Hase I is similar to that in standard hydrogenases. However, the reactivation of the former is more than 2 orders of magnitude faster despite the fact that reduction of Ni-B is not thermodynamically more favorable. A scheme for the enzymatic mechanism of A. aeolicus Hase I is presented, and the results are discussed in relation to the proposed models of oxygen tolerance.

Abstract
Full-range mid-infrared spectra were measured during the reaction of CpCo(CO)(2) with nitrosyl chloride by interfacing a rapid-mixing stopped-flow device with an ultra-rapid-scanning Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer having a temporal resolution of 5 ms. Changes to the data acquisition hardware of this spectrometer now allow a sequence of well over 2000 spectra to be collected without interruption. Two transient species were observed spectroscopically during the first 500 ms of the reaction of CpCo(CO)(2) with nitrosyl chloride. The shortest-lived species that was observed, [CpCo(CO)(2)(NO)](+), had a half-life of approximately 20 ms at 25 degrees C and approximately 70 ms at 10 degrees C. This intermediate transformed into a longer-lived (approximately 0.5 s) intermediate, CpCo(NO)Cl. Potential intermediate species with one CO and one NO ligand, such as [CpCo(CO)(NO)](+) and CpCo(CO)(NO)Cl, were not observed, although the possibility that they exist cannot be ruled out.

Abstract
The [NiFe] hydrogenase from the anaerobic sulphate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F is an excellent model for constructing a mechanism for the function of the so-called 'oxygen-sensitive' hydrogenases. The present review focuses on spectroscopic investigations of the active site intermediates playing a role in the activation/deactivation and catalytic cycle of this enzyme as well as in the inhibition by carbon monoxide or molecular oxygen and the light-sensitivity of the hydrogenase. The methods employed include magnetic resonance and vibrational (FTIR) techniques combined with electrochemistry that deliver information about details of the geometrical and electronic structure of the intermediates and their redox behaviour. Based on these data a mechanistic scheme is developed.

Abstract
A dithiolate-bridged Fe-Ni-Fe trinuclear carbonyl complex [(CO)(3)Fe(mu-ndt)Ni(mu-ndt)Fe(CO)(3)] (1, ndt = norbornane-exo-2,3-dithiolate) has been synthesized from the reaction of [Fe(CO)(4)I(2)] and Li(2)[Ni(ndt)(2)]. This reaction was found to occur with concomitant formation of a tetranuclear cluster [Ni(3)(mu-ndt)(4)FeI] (2). Treatment of 1 with Na[N(SiMe(3))(2)] transforms some of the CO ligands into CN(-), and the monocyanide complex (PPh(4))[(CO)(2)(CN)Fe(mu-ndt)Ni(mu-ndt)Fe(CO)(3)] (3) and the dicyanide complex (PPh(4))(2)[(CO)(2)(CN)Fe(mu-ndt)Ni(mu-ndt)Fe(CO)(2)(CN)] (4) were isolated. X-ray structural analyses of the trinuclear complexes revealed a Fe-Ni-Fe array in which the metal centers are connected by the ndt sulfur bridges and direct Fe-Ni bonds. Hydrogen bonding between the CN ligand in 3 and cocrystallized ethanol was found in the solid-state structure. The monocyanide complex 3 and dicyanide complex 4 reacted with acids such as HOTf or HCl generating insoluble materials, whereas complex 1 did not react.
