Popis: The observation of nearly identical infrared spectra in the diatomic (2000 cm-1) region of oxidized forms of [NiFe]hydrogenases, as isolated from Chromatium vinosum (Happe et al. Nature 1997, 385, 126) and Desulfovibrio gigas (Volbeda et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 12989) and the anion (η5-C5H5)Fe(CN)2(CO)- (Darensbourg et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 7903), including isotopic label shifts, has prompted further development of the organometallic model complex as a spectroscopic reference. The vibrational spectroscopy of the pyramidal Fe(CN)2(CO) unit found in the salts of (η5-C5H5)Fe(CN)2(CO)- and (η5-C5Me5)Fe(CN)2(CO)- is thoroughly investigated with respect to band positions and intensity ratios as influenced by counterion and solvent. The neutral analogues (η5-C5H5)- and (η5-C5Me5)Fe(CN)(CO)2 as well as the protonated H[(η5-C5H5)Fe(CN)2(CO)] are included for comparison. The X-ray crystal structure of the latter finds short interionic N····N distances of 2.55 A indicative of CN-nitrogen protonat...
