Multi-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations of biomimetic model complexes of the H-cluster of [FeFe]-hydrogenase

FeFe-hydrogenases are members of a family of metalloenzymes that catalyze the conversion of protons and electrons to dihydrogen at a remarkable rate. The catalytic center of this enzyme, the H-cluster, contains a classical [4Fe-4S] cluster that is covalently and magnetically coupled through a cystei...
