✦ Synopsis

Hydrogenases are highly efficient enzymes that catalyze the production and consumption of hydrogen reversibly in a wide variety of microorganisms. [1][2][3] Hydrogenases are generally classified into two major groups depending on their metal content, namely NiFe hydrogenases and Fe-only hydrogenases. [4] Although both groups of hydrogenases catalyze the consumption and production of hydrogen, the Fe-only hydrogenases have much greater reaction rates for H 2 production than NiFe hydrogenases. [5] Therefore, Fe-only hydrogenases (hereafter referred to as FeHases) have received much more attention than NiFe hydrogenases in biomimetic studies

The recent elucidation of the structures of two iron hydrogenases isolated from different organisms [1,2] has provided a unique insight into the active site of these hydrogenproducing enzymes. This knowledge has fueled intense research aimed at the synthesis of close mimics of the active site that c
