Metal atoms at the active centers of oxidoreductases must be chirotopic. In the course of a search for model complexes for nitrogenases and hydrogenases, a new type of chiral complex was discovered, represented by the complex 1 . It was obtained by coupling two homochiral [Fe(CO)(“S 4 ”)] fragments, and it contains Fe centers that are capable of binding σ‐π ligands. This complex may thus be regarded as one segment of a metalloprotein structure. (“S 4 ”) 2⊖ = 2,2′‐(ethylenedithio)dibenzene thiolate.
