Abstract: Fe-only hydrogenase can catalyze the reversible reaction of protons and electrons to molecular hydrogen in nature.To construct new hydrogen evolution catalysts,A mercaptoacetate functionalized Fe-only hydrogenase model complex 7 has been achieved by using Sonogashira cross coupling reaction in this work.Electrocatalytic studies of 7,monitored by cyclic voltammogram,suggest that 7 is an active catalyst for H2 production under electrochemical conditions in the presence of HOAc.

Key words: Fe-only hydrogenase, mimic, electrochemistry, synthesis, coupling reaction
