Title: Compositional and structural insights into the nature of the H-cluster precursor on HydF

Abstract

Spectroscopic and computational characterization of loaded HydF reveals that the 2Fe subcluster is a coordinatively saturated Fe( i )–Fe( i ) species that contains 4 CO and 2 CN ligands, and is anchored to HydF via coordination to a [4Fe–4S] cluster.
