Many enzymes that catalyze important biological processes (nitrogen fixation, water oxidation, etc.) require cofactors containing multiple transition metals in close proximity. The synthesis and characterization of a family of trimetallic clusters supported by a polydentate amine-based ligand scaffold will be presented.  In addition, we will also present the reactivity of these clusters against various small molecules, as well as show how slight changes in the ligand scaffold affect structure and reactivity.
