Abstract
The number of methods to study transient paramagnetic hydrides at organometallic centres is extremely limited. The reactivity of {2Fe2S} centres with protons to produce both diamagnetic and paramagnetic systems is of central interest in developing novel catalysts for hydrogen production, inspired by the [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes. Here, we show how a combination of spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques is allowing access to detail of the reactivity of key species on these pathways. Electron paramagnetic resonance and infra-red spectroelectrochemical approaches have been used to observe the reduction of pre-generated diamagnetic hydrides. In contrast, avoided level crossing muon spin resonance (ALC-µSR) has been used to form the open-shell species directly and to examine the formation of short-lived intermediates in the reaction process. The combination of these techniques suggests the involvement of terminal hydrides or CO-protonation states on the pathway to the isolable bridging hydride products.
