A bioinspired hetero-binuclear iron–molybdenum complex supported by tridentate sulfur donors and its catalytic activity toward hydrazine disproportionation
A bioinspired thiolate-bridged iron-molybdenum complex was designed and synthesized, featuring structural motifs similar to those found in the {FeS<sub>3</sub>Mo} moiety of FeMoco. Spectroscopic and computational studies reveal that it contains a low-spin Fe<sup>II</sup> centre and a Mo<sup>IV</sup> centre with weak metal-metal bonding. Furthermore, it has been proven to be a good catalyst for hydrazine disproportionation.
