Formation of a Nitrogenase P-cluster [Fe8S7] Core via Reductive Fusion of Two All-Ferric [Fe4S4] Clusters

How does your cluster grow? The nitrogenase P‐cluster [Fe8S7] core has been assembled from the two all‐ferric [Fe4S4] clusters via phosphine desulfurization. This finding suggests that reductive desulfurization from an [Fe4S4] cluster can occur in the maturation process of the P‐cluster of nitrogena...
