Intramolecular electron transfer between molybdenum and iron mimicking bacterial sulphite dehydrogenase

Abstract

Diferrocenyl/diferrocenium substituted dioxido molybdenum(VI) complexes [Fe2MoO2] 2(Fc)/[2(FC)]²⁺ mimic the catalytic active site including the redox subunits as well as the catalytic function of bacterial sulphite oxidases.
