The homodinuclear complexes [Ni(RNPyS4)]2 (; RNPyS4 = 2,6-bis(2-mercaptophenylthiomethyl)-4-R-pyridine; R = H, MeO, Cl, Br, i-Pr) were found to be prepared by reactions of the in situ generated Li2[Ni(1,2-S2C6H4)2] with 2,6-bis[(tosyloxy)methyl]pyridine and its substituted derivatives 2,6-bis[(tosyloxy)methyl]-4-R-pyridine. Further reactions of with Fe3(CO)12 gave both heterotrinuclear complexes NiFe2(RNPyS4)(CO)5 () and mononuclear complexes Fe(RNPyS4)(CO) (), unexpectedly. Interestingly, complexes and could be regarded as models for the active sites of [NiFe]- and [Fe]-hydrogenases, respectively. All the prepared complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy, and particularly for some of them, by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the electrochemical properties of and as well as the electrocatalytic H2 production catalyzed by and were investigated by CV techniques.
