For coordination compounds containing CO or CN groups, fast time-resolved infrared spectroscopy (TRIR) provides a convenient method of probing excited states and intermediates. TRIR has proved particularly powerful for probing the structure and kinetics of organometallic intermediates. The interpretation is particularly straightforward when combined with IR data from matrix isolation experiments, although there can be some subtle differences. In excited state studies, shifts in ν(CO) and ν(CN) frequencies, from ground to excited state, are sensitive to the changes in electron distribution on excitation, thus allowing the distinction between charge-transfer and non-charge-transfer transitions. Subtle effects on excited state ν(CO) band positions occur with change from fluid to rigid solvent-“infrared rigidochromism”. There is often a change in ν(CO) band width on excitation; this can be interpreted in terms of specific interactions between the excited species and the solvent. This paper presents some of our recent work in this area.

The H2 conversion and CO inhibition reactivity of nine [FeFe]-hydrogenase constructs with semi-artificial cofactors was studied by in situ and time-resolved infrared spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and theoretical methods. Impaired hydrogen turnover and proton transfer as well as characteristic CO inhibition/ reactivation kinetics are assigned to varying degrees of hydrogen-bonding interactions at the active site. We show that the probability to adopt catalytic intermediates is modulated by intramolecular and protein-cofactor interactions that govern structural dynamics at the active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenases.<br>
