Abstract

[Ni(L1)Fe(tBuNC)4](PF6)2 is a robust NiIIFeII complex that undergoes a reversible one-electron reduction. Spectroscopic and theoretical studies show that [Ni(L1)Fe(tBuNC)4]+ is an unprecedented NiIFeII species that reproduces the electronic configuration of the Ni-L state of the [NiFe] hydrogenases.
