Abstract:The FeMo cofactor (FeMoco) of the Mo‐dependent nitrogenase was identified as a Mo‐Fe‐S cluster incorporating a 2p atom in the core. The edge‐bridged double‐cubane (EBDC, [M2Fe6(µ3‐S)6(µ4‐S)2]z (M = Mo/V; z denotes charge)) clusters were demonstrated to undergo rearrangement reactions to generate the apex‐fused double‐cubane clusters ([M2Fe6(μ2‐S)2(μ3‐S)6(μ6‐S)]z) as mimics of the PN‐clusters. The introduction of 2p atoms into the core of EBDC clusters will furnish the possibility of mimicking the FeMoco struct… Show more
