Two novel κ2-C,N-pyridine bridged [FeFe]-H2ase mimics (1 and 2) have been prepared and are shown to function as efficient molecular catalysts for electrocatalytic proton reduction. The elemental and structural composition of the complexes are confirmed by NMR and IR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Electrochemical investigations reveal that the complexes reduce protons at their first reduction potential, resulting in the lowest overpotential (120 mV) ever reported for [FeFe]-H2ase mimics in proton reduction catalysis when mild acid (phenol) is used as proton source.

Dihalogenated pyridines react easily with sulphur nucleophiles, in dipolar aprotic solvents (DMF), to afford the products of mono- or of bis-substitution depending on the experimental conditions.On the contrary, with oxygen nucleophiles the bis-substituted products can be obtained only with some particular substrates.A new and efficient procedure to effect the homo-coupling of halogenoarenes will be presented.This reaction, wich occurs under the influence of low-valent nickel complexes, allowed us to effect the total synthesis of Orellanine, the lethal toxin of Cortinarius orellanus mushroom, as well as the syntheses of its decompositionproducts Orellinine and Orelline.The chemical properties of these three products and their behaviour towards UV irradiation will be presented and discussed.

The reactions of 2,6- and 2,5-dibromopyridines and of 2,3- and 3,5-dichloropyridines with sodium isopropanethiolate and methanethiolate afforded the products of mono- or of bis-substitution depending on the experimental conditions.The same pyridines reacted with sodium methoxide to give good yields of the mono-substituted products; bis-substitution occurred easily only in the case of the 2,6-dibromo- and of the 3,5-dichloropyridine.The syntheses of some methoxy thiomethoxypyridine, starting from the halogeno methoxypyridines or from the halogeno thiomethoxypyridines are also described.The bis-(alkylthio)pyridines can be fragmented by sodium in HMPA to give the bis(mercapto)pyridines.
