The [FeFe] hydrogenase enzymes are the most efficient catalysts known for the reduction of protons to H2.[1] The active site exists in two functional states (Scheme 1), Hred, which is S= 0, and Hox, which is S= 1/2.[2] Research in this area is aimed at elucidating the mechanism of the enzymatic catalysis and at using this information to develop protein-free bioinspired synthetic catalysts.[3] A specific research goal is the preparation of molecules that resemble the functional states of the active site with the expectation that function will follow form. Most studies on diiron dithiolato carbonyl complexes rely on organic ligands (eg phosphanes) in place of the naturally occurring cyanide and μ-SR [Fe4S4] ligands,[4] which have complicated acid–base behavior that is often difficult to control outside of the protein. Another barrier to modeling has been the rarity of mixed-valence diiron dithiolate compounds with the appropriate structures, stability, and reactivity.The first evidence for mixed valency in diiron dithiolate models was obtained in the one-electron oxidation of [Fe2-{(SCH2) 2CMeCH2SMe}(CN) 2 (CO) 4] 2À, which afforded a thermally sensitive mixed-valence derivative with IR and EPR spectroscopy signatures resembling those for the CO-inhibited enzyme.[5] In very recent work, the oxidation of [Fe2-(S2C3H6)(CO) 4 (PMe3) L1](L1= 1, 3-bis (2, 4, 6-trimethylphenyl) imidazol-2-ylidene) was shown to give a mixed-valence
