Extensive reports of {eta}{sup 2} coordination of dihydrogen to transition metals have recently led to speculation that the {eta}{sup 2}-dihydrogen complexes and their corresponding transition-metal hydrides may be important in the biological activation of molecular hydrogen. The authors now report that protonation of transition-metal porphyrin hydrides has yielded the first known dihydrogen complex of a metalloporphyrin and a system that performs some functions of hydrogenase enzymes.
