While hydrogen plays an ever-increasing role in modern society, nature has utilized
hydrogen since a very long time as an energy carrier and storage molecule. Among the …

Over the last 15 years, a plethora of research has provided major insights into the structure
and function of hydrogenase enzymes. This has led to the important development of …

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently debuted as participants and solid supports
in catalytic water splitting. Their porosity and structural versatility offer a tantalising …

In conventional homogeneous catalysis, supporting ligands act as spectators that do not
interact directly with substrates. However, in metal–ligand cooperative catalysis, ligands are …

Metal–ligand bifunctional cooperation has attracted much attention because it offers a
powerful methodology to realize a number of highly efficient and selective catalysts. In this …

Active [FeFe] hydrogenases can be obtained by expressing the unmaturated enzyme in
Escherichia coli followed by incubation with a synthetic precursor of the binuclear [2Fe] …

Hydrogenases are biological catalysts for hydrogen evolution and activation. While many
model complexes of hydrogenases can catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction, few of …

Conspectus Water splitting into oxygen and hydrogen is one of the most attractive strategies
for storing solar energy and electricity. Because the processes at work are multielectronic …

Hydrogenase enzymes are excellent proton reduction catalysts and therefore provide clear
blueprints for the development of nature‐inspired synthetic analogues. Mimicking their …

Abstract The [FeFe]‐hydrogenase H‐cluster is a complex organometallic cofactor whose
assembly and installation requires three dedicated accessory proteins referred to as HydE …
