A new [Fe−Fe]‐hydrogenase model complex [( μ ‐(SCH(CH 2 CH 3 )CH 2 S))Fe(CO) 5 ] 2 (μ,k 1 ,k 1 ‐DPPF) (DPPF=1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) 2 was prepared and characterized by solution IR spectrum, NMR spectrum and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The electrocatalytic property and phenol hydroxylation reactivity were investigated. In the absence of HOAc, complex 2 can catalyse proton reduction to hydrogen at −2.36 V. In addition, complex 2 also could catalyse the hydroxylation of phenol with the maximal phenol conversion (56.8%) and dihydroxybenzene selectivity (78.4%).
