  • A compound containing [FeFe]-hydrogenase, [Fe2((SCH2)2R)(CO)6] (1) (R=4-{(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)methyl}-anilino), was prepared and thoroughly characterized by infrared spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory calculations. Its performance as a photocatalyst for hydrogen production via water splitting was evaluated under simulated sunlight. Within 3 h, the amount of H2 produced was 386.5 μmol, achieving a catalytic efficiency of 25.26 μmol·mg-1·h-1 and a turnover number (TON) of 0.45.
