[Ni(NHPnPr3)(`S3')], the First Nickel Thiolate Complex Modeling the Nickel Cysteinate Site and Reactivity of [NiFe] Hydrogenase

Abstract: How do [NiFe] hydrogenases activate H(2)? Hydrogenases are key enzymes in the biological hydrogen and energy metabolism; the mechanism of H(2) activation, however, is unclarified. In particular, the oxidation states of the metals involved are discussed controversially. The title complex demonstrates that a distorted diamagnetic Ni(II) center and thiolate donors are sufficient (see picture) to catalyze the key reaction of hydrogenases, the H(2) heterolysis.

“…368 The product [47(μ-H)] − and its relatives are the first [NiFe]-H 2 ase models containing both CN − and H − groups. Aside from its CO occupying a basal site, the Fe coordination sphere in [47(μ-H)] − completely reproduces that in Ni-R, with the BR 3 groups simulating the H-bonding exhibited by the CN − ligands 370 Such Ni(η 2 -H 2 ) species can exhibit heterolysis with 371 and without an external base 372 (middle and bottom, respectively). This rarity had initially led to doubts about Ni performing H 2 cleavage in [NiFe]-H 2 ase, although this is now thought to be the case.…”

“…Early evidence for Ni interaction with H 2 could be found from [ 49 H], which converts to its D isotopologue [ 49 D] under D 2 (Figure ). The formation of a short-lived D 2 complex is thought to be followed by heterolysis of D 2 , with Ni receiving D – and thiolate accepting D + .…”

“…Additionally, the HD analogue, (SiP 2 S)­Ni II (HD), exhibits a 1 J HD of 35 Hz (toluene- d 8 , −80 °C), indicative of an intact dihydrogen unit in solution . Examples of Ni­(H 2 ) complexes are rare, , and 7 is distinct by virtue of the thiolate donor ligand; H 2 activation across a Ni–thiolate bond has been invoked elsewhere …”

“…The H/D scrambling experiments were conducted in a J. Young tube in CD 2 Cl 2 at room temperature. Typically, D 2 O (5 μL) was carefully injected under an N 2 atmosphere into an NMR tube containing 0.6 mL of CD 2 Cl 2 solution of [ 1 (μ-H)­H] + (5.3 μmol). The solution was frozen in liquid nitrogen, evaporated, and then purged with H 2 at 15 psi.…”
