Binding of CO to structural models of the bimetallic subunit at the A-cluster of acetyl coenzyme A synthase/CO dehydrogenase†
Abstract
Trinuclear Ni–Cu–Ni and Ni–Ni–Ni complexes derived from an Ni(II)–dicarboxamido–dithiolato metallosynthon exhibit redox behavior and CO binding properties similar to those of the A-cluster in acetyl coenzyme A synthase/CO dehydrogenase (ACS/CODH).
