In 1964 Rieske type [2Fe-2S] clusters were discovered in biological systems and identified as variants of [2Fe-2S] ferredoxins.[1] Structurally they differ form the parent ferredoxins by an asymmetrical terminal ligation at the [2Fe-2S] core, with only one iron center coordinated by two cysteinyl thiolates and the other coordinated by two histidine nitrogen donors.[2] Spectroscopic (eg EPR and Mössbauer) and functional characteristics (namely the electrochemical potential) of Rieske type [2Fe-2S] clusters are distinct because of this unique coordination environment.[3] The investigation of synthetic model complexes has provided valuable insight into the properties and electronic structures of iron–sulfur cofactors.[4] While several biomimetic [2Fe-2S] clusters with all-S or all-N environments have been obtained over the last decades,[4, 5] no asymmetrically ligated cluster that emulates the particular situation of the Rieske iron–sulfur proteins could be synthesized to date.[6] Herein we report the synthesis as well as spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization of the first accurate synthetic model compound 4 for Rieske type [2Fe-2S] clusters.
