Vinylmetallocenes (5 and 6) and vinyl half-sandwich complexes (10 and 11) have been used as cross-metathesis partners with [FeFe]-H2ase mimics (4, 8, and 9) bearing a double bond in the moiety attached to the ADT-bridge nitrogen. Electrochemical studies of these complexes, encompassing metallocene-type (7a–b, 12a–b, and 13a–b) as well as half-sandwich derivatives (12c and 13c–d), have demonstrated that the introduction of a redox unit has a marginal impact on the reduction potential of these [FeFe]-H2ase mimics. The application of this cross-metathesis approach has allowed the synthesis of [FeFe]-H2ase mimics featuring an Ir(III) electrochemical antenna (16–18) as well as systems having an electron-donor-photosensitizer structure (ED-PS) (23). The electrocatalytic properties of these complexes have been elucidated through electrochemical studies.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/journal article1477-9234https//doi.org/10.1039/D3DT04197Bhttps://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/dt/d3dt04197bopen accessQuímica orgánica (Química)2306 Química Orgánica
