Ni-Ru complex mirrors a hydrogenase's active site and is catalytically active
Scientist report the first catalytically active nickel-based complex with a structure that effectively replicates key aspects of the active site in hydrogenases. Hydrogenases are bacterial enzymes that serve as models for developing new catalysts that one day could be the workhorses for producing hydrogen as a fuel or for hydrogenating carbon dioxide into hydrocarbons.
