A The structure of Ni-Fe CODH enzyme along with its active site. B The generalized chemical structures for complexes C1 and C2. Here, the beige and blue circles depict the central metal center and redox partners, respectively. ORTEP drawings of single crystal structures of C complex C1, and (D) C2. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. C, Cu and N atoms are displayed as pink, purple, and blue spheres of arbitrary radii, respectively. Hydrogen and counter ions are omitted for clarity.
