Abstract
Iron(III) complexes with a 3N/3S chromophore reproduce a mixed N/S het erocyclic ligand environment, metal-ligand bond lengths, and low-spin state (S = 1/2) characteristic of the hydrolytic metalloenzyme nitrile hydratase; (FeN2S2Cl)-N-III species possesses a quantum mechanically admired S = 3/2, 5/2 state and able to form low-spin solvent adducts, possible analogues of the substrate-bound form of the enzyme.
